NIGP 06023: Bushings and Related Items

NIGP 06023 Bushings and Related Items is an Item code reflecting mechanical fastening and connector components that state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, and equipment assembly across diverse operational contexts. The recent contracting activity under this code is minimal; the most recent state and local opportunity in the source does not constitute a substantive procurement. Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota local government cooperative unit, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, as a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle available to participating entities across Washington state, other U.S. states, Canada, tribal governments, school districts, and nonprofit organizations. This broad-framework RFP would encompass bushings and related fastening components as subordinate line items within larger law enforcement equipment packages, but does not isolate the NIGP 06023 category as a discrete procurement focus.

Geographic activity under this Item code is geographically dispersed through the Sourcewell cooperative model, with primary administrative oversight in Minnesota and participating jurisdictions spanning Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties named explicitly) and numerous other public entities nationwide. No recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs targeting bushings and related items as a standalone procurement are evident in the available source material. Pursuit of activity under this code should focus on cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell and direct vendor relationships with county and municipal maintenance departments, where bushings and fasteners are typically ordered as component consumables rather than through formal notice-driven solicitations.
