NIGP 87020: Awnings, Metal and Wood

NIGP 87020 Awnings, Metal and Wood is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fabrication, structural materials, and installation of metal-frame and insulated-panel awning systems, typically for outdoor covered spaces at facilities including parks, municipal buildings, courthouses, schools, and utility structures. The work encompasses site-specific design, structural framing in aluminum or steel, roofing panels (galvalume, insulated metal, or polycarbonate), demolition of existing systems, site restoration, and full installation labor. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, school districts, and state health agencies as primary issuing bodies, with issuance through both traditional competitive RFP/RFQ/IFB processes and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell. The scope regularly includes wind-resistance and Florida Building Code compliance when coastal exposure is present, structural engineering, marine-grade materials for salt environments, stainless steel fastening, and comprehensive insurance requirements naming the government as additional insured.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Southeast.
