NIGP 08044: Fasteners (for Badges, etc.): Metal, Plastic, etc.

NIGP 08044 Fasteners (For Badges, Etc.): Metal, Plastic, Etc., an Item code, encompasses consumable fastening components — including ID badge clips and similar attachment hardware — that state and local governments procure as part of broader security and identity management operations. The code appears in solicitations issued by school districts and county government entities seeking to establish supply agreements for security systems, parts, and consumables used across multiple operational locations.

The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued Invitation to Bid #26-0158 in February 2026 for Safety & Security Systems: Services, Parts, & Consumables, with electronic submission due March 10, 2026, through the VendorLink Portal. The procurement established a one-year contract with two optional one-year renewal periods, requesting firm fixed pricing for consumable products such as ID badge clips with tiered quantity pricing alongside percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price for security equipment and hourly labor rates for installation and maintenance services across 52 school and department locations. Bidders claiming Small/Minority Business Enterprise status could self-certify or provide State of Florida certification, and all bidders were required to hold current Florida Electrical Contractor licenses (Class EF or EG) if bidding on installation or repair of security alarm or access control systems, maintain appropriate insurance, and register with E-Verify. The School Board reserved the right to award on an all-or-none basis, by category, or to multiple vendors with no guarantee regarding total dollar value. Recent activity under the code appears limited; the available source records include only one substantive procurement opportunity in the preceding months.
