NIGP 95108: F & Oi Fences

NIGP 95108 Fences & Fencing, an Item code, encompasses installation, repair, demolition, and maintenance of fence and gate systems across state and local facilities—including chain link, wood, aluminum, vinyl, pasture, and specialty barriers—with recent activity driven by parks departments, schools, water authorities, and municipal infrastructure managers procuring everything from athletic field backstops and playground barriers to perimeter security and stormwater retention fencing. The issuing-body mix spans county parks and recreation (Fayette County, Gwinnett County, and Boulder County), municipal utilities (City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), school systems (Cartersville City Schools), regional water authorities (Brazos River Authority), and independent city procurement offices (City of Acworth). Work typically includes site assessment, removal and disposal of existing fencing and posts, installation of new materials to specification, gate and automation systems, emergency repair services, and long-term maintenance contracts under annual or multi-year terms. Most solicitations require proof of relevant experience via three or more references from similar projects within the past three to five years, with personnel holding demonstrated commercial-grade installation credentials; bonding, performance guarantees, and workers' compensation insurance are standard.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with additional procurement in Colorado.
