NIGP 00505: Abrasive Equipment and Tools

NIGP 00505 Abrasive Equipment and Tools is an Item code under which state and local governments procure cutting edges, blades, abrasive materials, and wear components for heavy equipment maintenance and winter operations. Draper City, Utah issued a competitive sealed bid (IFB) in September 2026 for carbide snowplow cutting edges, segmented systems, OEM Western blades, plow guards, and associated hardware—the most concrete recent example of the code's scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities and counties; Draper City and Broward County, Florida appear in the recent activity block, though Broward's solicitation (a Request for Information on Bromma container spreader parts and maintenance) diverges from traditional abrasive tooling into equipment-specific components and repair services. San Bernardino County, California's May 2026 ITB for parts and supplies spanning 500+ line items including tools and related consumables also touches this space, though the procurement spans multiple commodity families.

Recent activity concentrates in the Mountain West and South: Draper City (Utah) and San Bernardino County (California) represent western procurement; Broward County and an unnamed Florida county appear in the South. Draper City's IFB closed October 16, 2026, seeking new, unused snowplow blades in specified sizes (4' × 6" and 3' × 6" carbide models, Blockbuster segmented systems in 9', 10', 11', and 12' configurations), with one-year initial contract terms and up to four optional one-year renewals subject to CPI-capped price adjustments not exceeding 3 percent. San Bernardino County's ITB 6391 closed June 19, 2026, with a 14-day delivery window and 5 percent local vendor preference applied to bids. The source supports no volume, incumbent-vendor, or award-value data for NIGP 00505 specifically; recent opportunities remain sparse and geographically scattered, signaling moderate current activity in the code.
