NIGP 97577: Sprinkler Equipment Rental or Lease, Street

NIGP 97577 Sprinkler Equipment Rental Or Lease, Street is an Item code under which state and local governments buy sprinkler system design, installation, replacement, and rental services—most commonly capital construction for fire suppression systems in detention facilities, municipal buildings, and public assembly spaces. The issuing bodies are diverse: Collin County, Texas (county detention operations); the City of Atlanta (municipal fleet and facilities management); and Events DC (a special-purpose authority). Work currently solicited includes full sprinkler head replacement in jail facilities under fixed-price contracts; design and permitting services for historic building fire suppression systems; and rental or lease-to-purchase arrangements for off-road equipment supporting municipal public works and emergency response. Service offerings span design and code compliance, installation and replacement labor, system maintenance and inspections, and equipment rental with operator training and telematics support.

Texas and the District of Columbia dominate the recent opportunity stream. Collin County's IFB 2026-389 for sprinkler head replacement at the Collin County Jail in McKinney (opinion of probable construction cost $150,000, bids due November 19, 2026) requires NFPA 13 compliance, prevailing wage, and comprehensive bonding and insurance; pre-bid meetings are mandatory on October 26 or October 29. Events DC's RFP 25-S-051 for design and permit-ready sprinkler systems at the DC Armory (proposals due June 22, 2026) carries a 35 percent set-aside for Certified Business Enterprises, requires 15 years of NFPA 13 design experience for historic and large public assembly facilities, and uses hourly rate plus reimbursable-cost pricing with a base term through September 30, 2027 and four one-year renewals. The City of Atlanta's IFB/GS/DPW/2606-1260236 (due July 28, 2026) encompasses rental and lease-to-purchase fleet and off-road equipment with maintenance, training, and support services across multiple municipal departments, with the City reserving the right to make multiple awards.
