NIGP 96762: Prefabricated and Manufactured Buildings or Homes Manufacturing Services

NIGP 96762 Prefabricated and Manufactured Buildings or Homes Manufacturing Services, an Item code, encompasses the procurement, delivery, installation, and ancillary construction services for manufactured and modular housing units, prefabricated shelters, and related site-preparation work. State and local governments are buying complete replacement manufactured homes (double-wide units ranging 1,280 to 2,000 square feet with utility connections and site work), prefabricated equipment shelters with integrated electrical and HVAC systems, modular building maintenance and job-order contracting frameworks, and disaster-recovery mobile home replacement programs with full-scope services including demolition, foundation installation, and compliance certification. Recent opportunities reveal issuing bodies across multiple sectors: county housing departments (Boulder County Housing Department establishing pre-qualified contractor pools for CDBG-DR mobile home replacement), state environmental and water agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, St. Johns River Water Management District, Marion County Utilities), municipal governments (City of Port Orange, Sarasota County), special districts (Pinellas County, Florida Division of Emergency Management), and educational cooperatives (Harris County Department of Education through Choice Partners). The Florida Division of Emergency Management has positioned itself as a significant repeat buyer, soliciting statewide logistics and installation services for travel trailers and manufactured housing units across Non-Congregate Sheltering and State-Managed Direct Housing programs with a three-year initial contract term and no guaranteed volume.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Colorado, with secondary presence in Texas. Recent solicitations include the City of Port Orange's ITB 26-18-CW for mitigation reconstruction and elevation of one flood-prone manufactured home (FEMA HMGP-funded, $220,000 maximum federal share, bids due November 13, 2026), Pinellas County's ITB 260574 for four prefabricated ambient air quality monitoring equipment shelters (EPA Inflation Reduction Act grant-funded, $515,000 contract awarded August 2024, bids due October 8, 2026), and Boulder County Housing Department's Solicitation of Qualifications SOQ299262 for pre-qualified mobile home replacement contractors under CDBG-DR (approximately $900,000 funding, three projects estimated, SOQ due October 13, 2026). The Florida Division of Emergency Management's RFP 16906 for statewide logistical and housing services (proposals due October 14, 2026) spans travel trailer and manufactured housing procurement, installation, haul services, and 24/7 maintenance support with no guaranteed quantity. Harris County Department of Education's Competitive Sealed Proposal 26028MF through Choice Partners cooperative establishes a Job Order Contracting IDIQ framework for modular building maintenance and repairs (maximum $200 million aggregate across the cooperative, proposals due June 16, 2026, though past due). Respondents typically must hold current state contractor and manufactured-home-installation licenses, demonstrate prior experience on residential or public-sector projects, carry comprehensive general liability ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence) and workers' compensation insurance, and comply with federal prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, CDBG-DR, and debarment requirements when federal funding is present.
