NIGP 15028: Dowels, and Rods, Wood

NIGP 15028 Dowels and Rods, Wood is an Item code that encompasses wood dowels, rods, and related wooden stock materials purchased by state and local jurisdictions for construction, maintenance, and repair work. State and local governments use this code to procure wood dowels, rods, and similar materials as components in carpentry, woodworking, and general construction projects, typically through informal quotations and standard purchasing channels rather than formal competitive procurements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county purchasing departments and county departments of transportation, reflecting the broad utility of wood stock in maintenance and capital projects across local government infrastructure.

Recent solicitation activity shows limited but concrete demand. Gwinnett County Financial Services in Georgia issued an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 06092026) on June 11, 2026 for Purchase of Wood and Materials, due June 18, 2026, which included wood trim and framing materials among fourteen line items ranging from 4 to 320 units, with delivery to Gwinnett County Department of Transportation in Lawrenceville, Georgia and unit pricing required to include all delivery costs. The opportunity specified that delivery time is a stated factor in award determination and that the County reserves the right to award by individual line item or total quote price. Georgia is the primary state showing recent activity under this code; no other jurisdictions appear in the current opportunities block. Opportunities under this code appear sparse and concentrated in informal quotation and request-for-quote activity rather than formal competitive RFPs or ITBs.
