NIGP 96281: Steeplejack Services

NIGP 96281 Steeplejack Services, an Item code, encompasses specialized high-access work on buildings, structures, and infrastructure where personnel operate from elevated positions using ropes, rigging, and specialized equipment. State and local governments solicit under this code for roof work, facade maintenance, chimney services, and installation or repair tasks on tall structures where conventional scaffolding is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The issuing bodies include municipalities, city parks departments, and facilities management agencies performing maintenance and capital improvement work on public buildings and infrastructure.

The available record shows limited recent activity: the City of DeBary, Florida issued an IFB (Bid 03-15) on April 13, 2026, for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements, with an Engineer's estimated cost of $90,000 and a 45-calendar-day completion timeline. While this solicitation centers on irrigation system conversion rather than traditional steeplejack services, it represents the only documented state or local opportunity under this code in the source. Geographic concentration cannot be determined from a single opportunity. The absence of multiple recent solicitations across jurisdictions suggests either limited procurement frequency under this code or that state and local bodies are sourcing steeplejack work through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, regional contracts, or facilities management bundled services rather than competitive notices.
