NIGP 91220: Construction, Fire Protection (Includes Fire Escapes, Fire and Smoke Barriers, Firestops)

NIGP 91220 Construction, Fire Protection (Includes Fire Escapes, Fire and Smoke Barriers, Firestops) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fire suppression system installation, testing, inspection, and maintenance; fire alarm control systems and detection device retrofits; emergency board-up and property security services; and related fire-protection infrastructure upgrades tied to facility renovation, compliance, or operational modernization. Recent solicitations show the code capturing work across fire stations under construction or renovation, healthcare facility seismic compliance projects with fire-system upgrades, multi-facility fire alarm system campus replacements, and specialized services like CO2 suppression inspection and emergency board-up contracting.

Issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across municipalities, counties, special-purpose districts, and transit authorities. Cities soliciting include Temple (Texas), Albany (Georgia), Palm Beach (Florida), Sandy Springs (Georgia), and Rome (Georgia); counties include Orange (Florida), Pinellas (Florida), Broward (Florida), Hillsborough (Florida), Santa Clara (California), Marion (Florida), Escambia (Florida), and Montgomery (Pennsylvania); fire districts include Pinellas Suncoast Fire & Rescue and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue; and special-purpose entities include Atlanta Beltline, Ontario International Airport Authority, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, and housing authorities. Florida and California jurisdictions are the highest-frequency repeat issuers. Representative recent opportunities include Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue's RFQ for emergency board-up services with up to six contract awards (quotes due October 23, 2026), Ontario International Airport Authority's IFB for campus-wide fire alarm system replacement at 29 facilities using centralized monitoring integration (bids due October 26, 2026), Broward County's open-end ADA bus-stop construction contract with fire-protection features subject to FTA Buy America requirements (proposals due November 2, 2026), and Hillsborough County's CMAR selection for approximately twenty fire projects with $132 million estimated construction budget across five years (proposals due October 5, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida (Orange, Pinellas, Broward, Hillsborough, Escambia, Marion, Palm Beach counties and multiple cities); California (Santa Clara County, Ontario Airport Authority); and Georgia (Atlanta, Albany, Sandy Springs, Union City, Columbus, Augusta). Activity under this code is robust and spans the full range of issuing-body types — pursue aggressively if fire-protection or fire-suppression installation, testing, or system-integration work fits your capability.
