NIGP 01059: Foam Plastics: Blocks, Boards, Sheets, etc.

NIGP 01059 Foam Plastics: Blocks, Boards, Sheets, Etc., an Item code, covers specialized foam materials that state and local governments procure for operational and infrastructure use. Recent solicitations show the code capturing discrete purchases of engineered foam products built to exact specifications rather than commodity-grade foam stock. The City of Dallas solicited a single foam wall berm unit measuring 10 feet by 40 feet by 4 inches with XR-5 soft drive-over foam inserts for delivery to its Sanitation/District 2 facility, specifying new, unopened product in original packaging with no substitutes accepted and freight included in the bid price. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal departments and special-purpose districts; the sample shows limited recent activity specific to this Item.

Activity under NIGP 01059 is sparse in the available recent-opportunities record. The City of Dallas issued an ITB (IFSSANB11000043) for the foam wall berm with a response deadline of September 8, 2026, representing the only concrete procurement signal in the dataset for this code. Geographic coverage cannot be reliably characterized from a single solicitation; Texas shows at least one active buyer, but the data does not support identification of other states or regions with current demand under this Item code. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor municipal public works, sanitation, and capital-equipment procurement channels where custom foam engineering and FOB-delivery models are the norm.
