NIGP 100: Barrels, Drums, Kegs, and Containers

NIGP 100 Barrels, Drums, Kegs, and Containers is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies and materials across broad supply categories rather than drums and containers alone. Recent opportunities show cities and counties soliciting comprehensive blanket purchase orders and master agreements for MRO goods spanning plumbing fixtures, HVAC components, electrical supplies, cleaning products, fleet maintenance parts, landscaping materials, and janitorial paper products. The City of Tucson, City of Milpitas, and City of Owensboro dominate recent activity, each posting multiple MRO and technical services contracts. These jurisdictions span municipal departments, utilities, fleet operations, parks, and facilities maintenance. Issuing bodies range from city procurement offices to county boards and school districts; the City of Tucson's RFP explicitly incorporates cooperative purchasing through OMNIA Partners to extend the master agreement to other public agencies nationwide.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Arizona, California, and Florida, with secondary solicitations in Kentucky. The City of Tucson's RFP 240078 for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations Supplies, Parts, Equipment, and Materials is representative: posted September 30, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on February 20, 2024, and proposals due March 28, 2024, the City seeks a master agreement covering 1,995 line items across 25 product categories with an estimated annual contract volume of approximately $250 million (City of Tucson spending approximately $4 million over the full three-year term with two one-year renewal options). The City of Milpitas posted IFB 26-229 on July 17, 2026, for blanket purchase orders covering five MRO supply categories—General MRO and Facilities Maintenance, Fleet Maintenance, Parks and Landscaping, Utility Operations, and Street Maintenance—with bids due August 4, 2026, a five-year term, and prevailing wage and local purchasing preference requirements. Both solicitations contemplate awards to multiple vendors to ensure capacity and capability across supply categories.
