NIGP 91457: Metal Work, Decorative

NIGP 91457 Metal Work, Decorative is an Item code covering metal fabrication, installation, and repair work on building exteriors, structural components, and site furnishings in state and local facility projects. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring metal siding repair and replacement, custom steel beam fabrication, sheet metal trim installation, metal canopies, metal building systems, signage, and reader boards—work that typically spans exterior envelope restoration, structural support fabrication, and decorative or functional metal finishing. The issuing bodies are predominantly Washington state community colleges and technical colleges (Highline, South Seattle, Everett, Big Bend, Lake Washington Institute of Technology, Clover Park Technical, Clark, Shoreline, Tacoma, Skagit Valley), Washington state agencies (Department of Corrections, Department of Social & Health Services, Department of Ecology, Department of Veterans Affairs), and scattered municipal and county jurisdictions in California, Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, New Jersey, and Texas. These are capital-maintenance and renovation projects—elevator modernizations, building remodels, facility upgrades, fire station repairs—where metal work is a trade package or component, not the prime scope.

Washington state dominates recent activity, with the greatest concentration in community college campus renovations and state agency facility work; secondary activity spans California (Santa Clara County healthcare seismic-compliance projects with metal building and canopy components), Georgia (state hospital and technical college renovation bids), and regional municipal and school-district work. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Milledgeville, Georgia metal siding repair at Fire Station 1 (Solicitation PE60550NONST2027000000015, IFB, due October 16, 2026) involving removal and replacement of 24-gauge steel siding, custom steel header beam fabrication, and sheet metal trim installation; Marion County, Florida utilities maintenance building (Solicitation 20Q-161-TO-58, subcontractor prequalification through Charles Perry Partners, due October 8, 2026) spanning metal canopies, metal building systems, and specialty metal work across multiple trade packages; and Utah Tech University Road Scholar site remodel (Solicitation 260922, IFB, closed October 22, 2026) requiring site preparation and utility distribution infrastructure including electrical distribution receptacle posts. Most postings are abbreviated IFBs with minimal detail; scope clarity and technical specifications typically require full bid documents or pre-bid contact with issuing bodies.
