NIGP 95108: F & Oi Fences

NIGP 95108 Fences and Fencing, an Item code, encompasses the supply, installation, repair, and maintenance of perimeter security fencing, decorative fencing, and specialized fence systems for state and local government facilities. State and local jurisdictions procure galvanized chain link fence, steel picket fence, wood fencing, wire fencing in multiple configurations, temporary event fencing, and associated gate systems, typically bundled with full-service installation labor, site management, materials, and equipment. The market spans school districts, county parks and open space departments, city watershed and facilities management offices, state health and human services agencies, transportation authorities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show demand for both capital-project fencing (permanent installations at facilities) and multi-year service contracts (pre-qualified vendor pools for ongoing district-wide repairs and maintenance).

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Colorado, and Oregon, with repeat activity from school districts and municipal departments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for steel fencing services at Austin State Hospital (response due July 24, 2026) requiring removal of 1,450 linear feet of existing chain link and installation of 8-foot decorative metallic-coated steel tubular picket fence, with a mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plan at 32.9% utilization and five-year minimum fencing installation experience; Temple Independent School District solicited competitive bids for district-wide fencing supplies and installation services (IFB, response due March 16, 2026) on a multi-vendor award basis with separate pricing for chain link and ornamental fencing by linear foot and a 20 percent SWMBE participation goal. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management opened a multi-step sealed-bid process for five-component fence and gate automation services across 59 facilities (prequalification due May 28, 2026), and Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department established a pre-qualified vendor list for plains and mountain terrain fencing installation and repair on a project-by-project basis (qualifications due June 9, 2026). Cartersville City School System, Clackamas County Oregon, and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority each issued single-project solicitations for chain link fence installation, with response dates in late July and April 2026.
