NIGP 96257: Moving: House, Portable Building, etc.

NIGP 96257 Moving: House, Portable Building, Etc., an Item code, covers relocation services for structures and portable buildings, though recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a broader mix of moving work including office relocations, school moves, modular classroom removal, and residential demolition or relocation. State and local governments procure these services through counties, cities, school districts, state departments, and special authorities. The California Department of Rehabilitation appears as a repeat buyer, issuing three separate IFBs for office moving services across its districts (Central Coast, Greater San Diego, and Inland Empire) in June 2026. Charles County Public Schools in Maryland and the Mississippi Department of Education also solicited moving or removal services recently. Work typically involves labor, equipment, transportation, packing, unpacking, disassembly and reassembly of modular furniture, storage, and debris removal; some solicitations include hazardous materials testing or abatement and environmental compliance as part of broader demolition or clearance scopes.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Maryland, and California. The California Department of Rehabilitation's three office moving contracts (estimated $49,900 each over three years) represent the largest recent concentration, all with bids due June 25–July 16, 2026 and small-business and DVBE preferences of 5% and 1–5% respectively. Charles County Public Schools issued an ITB for school moving services on a task order basis with bids due June 4, 2026. The Mississippi Department of Education awarded modular classroom removal to Wynn and Weeks Outdoor Services LLC for $15,800 under an IFB with proposals due October 2, 2026. Forsyth County, Georgia solicited moving services for multiple county departments on an as-needed basis with proposals due October 22, 2026. Walton County, Florida issued an ITQ for demolition or relocation of a residence due October 21, 2026, and the City of DeBary, Florida procured irrigation system improvements (outside traditional moving scope) with a bid deadline of April 10, 2015—a historical entry that does not represent current market activity.
