NIGP 99222: Ballistics Testing Services

NIGP 99222 Ballistics Testing Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure ballistic film installation and security laminate services to retrofit school buildings, government facilities, and other sensitive locations with bullet-resistant window and door protection. The scope of work centers on furnishing and installing ballistic security laminates that meet ASTM F3561 standards, with installation labor, quality assurance inspections, and project management through completion. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts as primary buyers, with procurement driven by security modernization initiatives and facility hardening mandates at the K-12 level.

Recent activity demonstrates concentrated demand from school districts in the Southeast. Bibb County Public Schools in Georgia issued RFP 26-030 in January 2026 for district-wide ballistic film installation across multiple K-12 facilities, seeking a contractor to complete furnish-and-install work by June 29, 2026, with liquidated damages of $100 per day for delays. The procurement required contractors to demonstrate a minimum of five years of relevant K-12 or government facility experience, provide three comparable project references, obtain manufacturer certification, and carry commercial general liability insurance of at least $250,000 per occurrence. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held February 10, 2026, in Macon, Georgia, with a proposal deadline of March 2, 2026, via the Bonfire platform. Clear Armor LLC was awarded the contract on March 25, 2026, pending funding approval. Pricing was to be submitted on a unit basis per window or per square foot and held firm for 180 days from proposal due date.
