NIGP 01038: Clips, Pins, etc. (for Duct Insulation)

NIGP 01038 Clips, Pins, Etc. (For Duct Insulation), an Item code, represents fastening and securing hardware for thermal insulation systems that state and local governments procure as part of broader maintenance and construction supply contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code is purchased alongside general hardware, lumber supplies, and maintenance materials rather than as a standalone commodity—vendors responding to these opportunities typically bundle duct insulation fasteners within catalog-bid frameworks offering percentage discounts across multiple product categories. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix in recent activity, with Northside Independent School District and Donna Independent School District both conducting active procurement cycles for maintenance and construction supplies that would encompass clips and pins for duct insulation applications.

Recent opportunities center in Texas. Northside Independent School District issued IFB2026105 on July 14, 2026 for Maintenance Supplies & Services with proposals due August 6, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to respond to maintain business eligibility. Donna Independent School District issued RFP 011326874 on March 21, 2026 for General Hardware & Lumber Supplies as a catalog-bid procurement effective through August 31, 2027 with optional two-year extensions, with proposals due April 8, 2026; this procurement explicitly sought discount proposals across structural supplies, fasteners and adhesives, and related materials, and Donna ISD intended to award to multiple vendors for as-needed purchasing throughout the contract term. Neither solicitation specified minimum purchase volumes or set-asides, and both districts emphasized that purchases would be made on a selection, service, and price basis with no guarantee of order quantities.
