NIGP 10015: Drums, Miscellaneous

NIGP 10015 Drums, Miscellaneous is an Item code under which state and local governments procure drums and drum-related equipment for storage, transport, and material handling across operations. The code covers metal, plastic, and fiber drums in various capacities, along with drum accessories such as plugs, bungs, rings, and closure systems used in maintenance, custodial, hazardous-materials management, and general warehouse operations. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation and environmental protection, county public works and facilities management offices, city maintenance and utility departments, school district custodial operations, and special-purpose districts managing water, wastewater, and solid-waste infrastructure.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 10015 appear in the available procurement records. This code generates limited solicitation activity compared to higher-volume commodity codes, reflecting the standardized nature of drum procurement—most jurisdictions acquire drums through standing contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements with national or regional distributors, or small spot purchases that do not trigger formal RFP or IFB notice cycles. When activity does occur, it typically emerges from facilities management, public works, and environmental compliance programs in larger metropolitan areas and state agency warehouse operations.
