NIGP 14030: Ferrules, Handle, Plastic

NIGP 14030 Ferrules, Handle, Plastic is an Item code that encompasses plastic ferrule components and handles sourced by state and local governments for equipment assembly, tool manufacturing, and maintenance applications. State and local procurement offices purchase these components as parts for larger assemblies or stock inventory, typically through small-value IFBs or RFQs placed by departments of transportation, facilities management, school district maintenance operations, and municipal public works divisions. The items are generally low-dollar commodity buys integrated into routine maintenance supply chains rather than standalone capital procurements.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under this code are present in the available sourcing data. This reflects the commodity nature of ferrule and handle stock — such items are frequently acquired through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, master vendor contracts, or ongoing blanket purchase orders rather than through competitive solicitations posted individually. Periodic activity may occur through regional purchasing cooperatives or state-level commodities frameworks, but these transactions often remain outside public notice channels or are aggregated under broader supply agreements. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state procurement portals for recurring maintenance-supply opportunities and explore cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate ferrule and handle demand across multiple jurisdictions.
