NIGP 93637: Gates, Electric (Card Reader, etc.) Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93637 Gates, Electric (Card Reader, Etc.) Maintenance And Repair, Item, covers preventive maintenance, repair, installation, and modernization of motorized gates—including sliding, swinging, and folding systems with sensor, loop, and badge-access operation—at state and local government facilities. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on term contracts for rolling maintenance and emergency repair across county and municipal facility networks, with work spanning vehicular and pedestrian access gates at buildings, warehouses, correctional facilities, airports, and fire rescue stations. Recent solicitations show counties and cities bundling gate services with related access-control and overhead-door work, reflecting how operational maintenance contracts aggregate across multiple equipment types within a single facilities portfolio.

County governments dominate recent solicitation activity, with Fairfax County (Virginia), DeKalb County (Georgia), Brevard County (Florida), and Orange County (Florida) each posting multiple maintenance and repair contracts in the past four months. Smaller jurisdictions including the City of Douglas (Georgia) and the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (Georgia) also appear as issuing bodies. State agencies—including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Workforce Commission—use this code for correctional-facility gate systems, warehouse-perimeter gates, and facility-access upgrades. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County's IFB for automatic-gate term-contract services covering sliding, swinging, and folding motorized equipment county-wide with bids due October 28, 2026; DeKalb County's ITB for maintenance, repair, installation, and inspection of overhead doors, roll-up doors, sliding doors, and gates requiring 24/7 operational availability, also due October 28, 2026; and Orange County's dual sealed-offer solicitations (Y26-1011 and Y26-1017) for commercial doors and gates preventive maintenance and repair services across Fire Rescue and Facilities Management locations, due July 16, 2026. Texas state procurement activity includes the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's RFP for a complete control panel and sally-port gate-operator system replacement at Evins State Juvenile Correctional Facility in Edinburg, with proposals due May 22, 2026, and the Texas Workforce Commission's gate renovation project at the MLK Warehouse requiring a Liftmaster slide-gate operator conversion and personnel-gate lock installation. Geographic concentration appears in Florida (Orange County, Brevard County, Pinellas County) and Georgia (DeKalb, Athens-Clarke, Douglas), with Texas state-agency activity representing significant institutional procurement in correctional and public-health settings. Cooperative purchasing frames some activity—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued an electrical-supplies catalog-discount bid (ELEC2628) with estimated expenditures of $4,854,470 over two years, and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority established RFxPremier Master Agreements for airfield lighting products available to participating states. Response times are typically 30 to 60 days from posting to bid due date.
