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), an Item code, encompasses state and local procurement of fire protection system design, construction, installation, upgrade, inspection, and maintenance work spanning fire stations, municipal buildings, housing authority facilities, and public safety infrastructure. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions actively purchasing fire alarm system installations and upgrades, fire suppression system design-build services, sprinkler system and fire pump inspections with NFPA compliance, portable fire extinguisher management, and complete fire station new construction and renovation projects that integrate fire protection infrastructure with broader facility work.

Fire station construction and renovation dominates recent activity across the code, with general contractors, construction managers at risk, and design-build firms competing for work. The City of Temple, Texas solicited renovation and expansion of Fire Station No. 2 ($1,882,650 architect's estimate, proposals due August 4, 2026), while Escambia County, Florida requested sealed bids for a new Paradise Beach Fire Station 20 ($12,780 square feet, three-bay facility, bids due August 12, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid July 20). Orange County, Florida issued a replacement fire station project (Y26-715-RC) with $9,900,000 estimated cost and bid deadline extended to February 19, 2026. Clay County, Florida and Marion County, Florida posted similar fire station construction opportunities. Beyond new construction, the Housing Authority of the City of San Antonio sought proposals for fire alarm and protection system upgrades at two apartment facilities (proposals due August 4, 2026), while the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia requested statements of qualification for city-wide fire systems inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair services across 513 smoke detectors, multiple sprinkler systems, fire pumps, and FM-200 suppression equipment (Phase I qualifications due July 17, 2026, local-presence requirement enforced). Marion County, Florida bid fire sprinkler and fire pump inspection services across 49 county facilities under NFPA standards (bids due June 11, 2026), and Kennesaw State University sought portable fire extinguisher and pre-engineered fire suppression system services for approximately 2,301 extinguishers across two campuses (proposals due April 28, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with additional procurement in Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, and Oregon. The code attracts responses from licensed general contractors, specialized fire protection vendors, construction managers at risk, design-build firms, and engineering consultants. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, housing authorities, school districts, special-purpose districts, and universities.
