NIGP 15042: Lath, Metal

NIGP 15042 Lath, Metal, an Item code, covers metal lath products used in construction applications for reinforcement and substrate preparation. State and local governments procure metal lath primarily through facilities and building maintenance departments, educational institutions, and construction-related divisions within state agencies and municipalities.

Recent posting activity under this code is minimal. Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 on June 26, 2026, for machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment with a July 15, 2026 response deadline; the scope suggests metal lath may be part of a broader facilities procurement but does not isolate metal lath as a standalone line item. A Williamson County Purchasing Department notice posted July 14, 2026, announced an office relocation and does not constitute an active procurement opportunity. The code shows limited recent solicitation velocity across the sample of monitored state and local jurisdictions, suggesting either consolidation into broader construction materials contracts or lower frequency of standalone metal lath bidding opportunities at this time.
