NIGP 04574: Tools, Appliance

NIGP 04574 Tools, Appliance is an Item code under which state and local governments procure maintenance and repair supplies, equipment, tools, and parts for facilities, fleet, utilities, parks, and streetworks — ranging from hand trucks and lifting hooks to stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers. The code captures both tangible goods (custodial cleaning products, electrical conduit, plumbing fixtures, HVAC components, paints, automotive parts, landscaping supplies) and related services such as scheduled preventive maintenance and corrective repair work on major appliances. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, and special-purpose districts purchasing for fire departments, water resources operations, voter registration divisions, and municipal facilities. The scope includes blanket purchase orders with multiple awards across categories to ensure vendor capacity and coverage of diverse operational needs.
