NIGP 68089: Shooting Ranges, Portable

NIGP 68089 Shooting Ranges, Portable (Item) encompasses the design, construction, renovation, and supply of firearms training and qualification facilities for law enforcement and public safety agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show government demand for complete range infrastructure including covered shooting structures, target systems, lighting and electrical systems, storage facilities, and related equipment and services. The issuing bodies are municipal police departments and local government purchasing offices acting on behalf of law enforcement agencies within their jurisdictions. The scope spans new construction and renovation projects that integrate structural framing, weatherproofing, LED lighting, target mechanisms, and associated site work to operational specifications.

The City of Sandersville, Georgia issued a Request for Bids on January 27, 2026 (due March 3, 2026) for a police firearms range renovation project specifying a covered 16-foot by 80-foot by 12-foot shooting structure with metal roofing, an enclosed endcap, LED lighting, center tables with bench structures, a replacement silhouette target structure, and a 10-foot by 14-foot storage building with electrical receptacles and windows. The City of Charlotte, North Carolina solicited proposals (due July 29, 2026) for NIJ-compliant body armor for sworn law enforcement, which falls at the periphery of range-related procurement but indicates parallel equipment spending by the same customer base. Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with Georgia and North Carolina represented in the current opportunity set. Pre-bid meetings, mandatory site visits, and formal addendum processes characterize the procurement vehicles; the Sandersville project mandated a pre-bid meeting February 12, 2026, with a question deadline of February 24, 2026.
