NIGP 87030: Shade Screens, Louvered or Perforated

NIGP 87030 Shade Screens, Louvered Or Perforated, Item code, covers the supply and installation of shade structures — including shade sails, louvered screens, and perforated shade systems — that state and local governments procure for parks, recreational facilities, and outdoor public spaces. The Clay County Board of County Commissioners' July 2026 RFQ for replacement of two 30-foot tri-sail shade nets at Moody Avenue Park in Orange Park, Florida, illustrates the typical scope: jurisdictions solicit contractors to supply shade structures, new cable and hardware, and installation labor as complete turnkey projects, often bundled with permitting, site cleanup, and warranty obligations. Issuing bodies under this code include county parks and recreation departments managing public outdoor facilities; municipalities overseeing civic parks and grounds; and special-purpose districts operating regional recreational areas. Contractors must typically hold commercial general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and demonstrated experience with similar installations.

The Clay County solicitation (RFQ #25/26-091, responses due July 28, 2026) represents recent activity in Florida, where the $21,170 project is funded through FEMA Public Assistance for Hurricane Helene disaster recovery. The specification of a fourteen-calendar-day installation window after material delivery and a two-year warranty on workmanship and materials is standard for this code. Contractors responding to shade-structure RFQs and RFPs typically quote separate line items for the shade structure itself, cabling and hardware, freight, installation labor, and permitting fees. No additional recent opportunities in the source block are named beyond the Clay County project, and geographic activity data beyond Florida is not supported.
