NIGP 91007: Chute Installation Services

NIGP 91007 Chute Installation Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure interior construction, building systems installation, facility maintenance, and related infrastructure work. Recent solicitations reveal that "chute installation" serves as a catch-all classification for general construction trades — interior finishing, mechanical and electrical systems, millwork, fencing installation, building automation, and plan review services — rather than a narrowly defined chute or conveyor system category. Issuing bodies include county capital programs departments, city watershed and facility management divisions, and municipal planning offices. The work ranges from major interior renovations with security and accessibility requirements to specialized building systems (energy management, IT infrastructure) and routine maintenance contracts at municipal facilities.

Activity over the past two months concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County Capital Programs in Tampa issued an IFB on June 17, 2026, for approximately $823,000 in interior construction at the Public Defender's office, due July 21, 2026, with a 10% SBE subcontractor participation goal and 240-day contract term. DeKalb County, Georgia, posted an ITB on June 9, 2026, for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure reconstruction at the DeKalb Tennis Center, due July 13, 2026. The City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management posted a pre-advertisement notice on May 6, 2026, for a multi-component fencing installation and maintenance IFB covering 59 facilities across 656.5 acres, with prequalification deadline May 28, 2026 and 36-month base term plus optional 24-month renewal. The City of Union City, Georgia, issued an RFP on May 13, 2026, for building plan review and inspection services, due June 10, 2026. The City of Tampa issued an intent to single source on April 16, 2026, for KMC Controls energy management systems and building automation services. Geographic concentration remains light; Florida and Georgia appear most active, but the code shows no dominant buyer or recurring pattern of large-volume procurement.
