NIGP 10085: Wooden Barrels and Drums

NIGP 10085 Wooden Barrels And Drums, an Item code, covers the procurement of wooden containers used across state and local operations, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code is not evident in current postings. State and local procurement offices, when sourcing wooden barrels and drums, typically do so through general commodity purchasing or as subordinate line items within broader containerization or materials-handling contracts rather than as dedicated solicitations. The code applies to agencies spanning departments of transportation, public works, utilities, and waste management where wooden barrels and drums serve secondary containment, storage, or transport functions.

Without active recent opportunities visible in the posting record, this code represents a low-velocity procurement category at the state and local level. Vendors should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and state-level commodity contracts that may bundle wooden containers alongside other packaging and storage materials, or track individual agency requisitions through state e-procurement portals where single-unit or small-batch purchases are more likely to surface than formal RFPs or IFBs.
