NIGP 93671: Scaffolding Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93671 Scaffolding Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, encompasses inspection, maintenance, repair, and installation of specialized rigging, suspended-access, and traffic-signal scaffolding systems across school districts, transportation authorities, state water agencies, and municipalities. Work solicited under this code ranges from comprehensive annual stage-rigging inspections at school facilities to spider-motor maintenance for transportation departments, mast-arm painting on traffic signal infrastructure, and procurement of custom bus-access scaffolding systems. State and local buyers treat this code as a vehicle for securing both labor services—inspections and repairs performed by qualified technicians—and engineered equipment or systems that require specialized fabrication, installation, and warranty support. Issuing bodies include school districts (Granite School District in Utah), state departments of transportation (California Department of Transportation), state water agencies (California Department of Water Resources), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and municipal public works departments (City of Ocala, Florida). Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal or optional-term provisions and often carry prevailing-wage, set-aside, or small-business preference requirements depending on jurisdiction and funding source.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Utah. Representative opportunities include Granite School District's IFB JF27-012-IFB for annual stage-rigging inspection services across 25 school locations (due October 12, 2026), covering dead-hung and counterweight/fly systems in accordance with ANSI E1.47 standards, with per-inspection and hourly repair rates; California Department of Transportation's IFB #11A4430 for spider motor inspection and repair services on portable suspended-scaffold equipment (due October 13, 2026) with a 5% small business and separate 5% DVBE incentive subject to a $100,000 combined cap; Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB 250214 for two custom bus scaffolding systems meeting Buy America compliance and OSHA/ANSI standards (bid due May 11, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $500,000 for two years); and California Department of Water Resources' sealed-bid procurement for concrete repairs and spillway maintenance at Pyramid Dam (due July 22, 2026) with a $1 million to $1.25 million estimated cost range and a 25% SBE participation goal. Qualifications typically mandate industry-specific certifications (ANSI rigging standards, FDOT traffic control), proof of relevant experience, current licensing, and substantial insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million commercial general liability per occurrence).
