NIGP 97763: Scaffolding and Ladders Rental or Lease

NIGP 97763 Scaffolding and Ladders Rental or Lease, an Item code, covers temporary access equipment and labor services that state and local governments procure for construction, maintenance, and renovation projects. State and local buyers under this code are soliciting scaffolding erection, dismantling, mobilization, and demobilization services, often bundled with equipment rental and labor on a time-and-materials or fixed-price basis. Issuing bodies include state facility management and infrastructure agencies (such as the Texas Facilities Commission) and state procurement departments (such as Ohio), which solicit scaffolding support across new construction, HVAC upgrades, and other capital improvement work. The work is typically embedded as a line item or subcontractor scope within larger construction RFPs that specify commercial scaffolding, maximum usage periods, and comprehensive insurance and bonding requirements aligned with general contractor standards.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Texas and Ohio. The Texas Facilities Commission issued RFP #0007465 for El Paso State Building HVAC Upgrades posted June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of February 25, 2026, seeking comprehensive construction services (including scaffolding as a potential subcontracted element) on a $4,950,000 project with a 730-calendar-day term and mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plan compliance at 21.1% participation. The State of Ohio issued ITB #7057 for Scaffolding services posted May 27, 2026, with responses due May 28, 2026, requesting itemized pricing for scaffolding labor, equipment rental (commercial scaffolding with a maximum of 28 days of use), and mobilization and demobilization. No estimated contract value or term was disclosed for the Ohio opportunity. Both opportunities reflect state-level capital and maintenance spending patterns driven by facility upgrades and repair cycles.
