NIGP 17584: Stoppers, Rubber and Synthetic

NIGP 17584 Stoppers, Rubber And Synthetic is an Item code covering rubber and synthetic stoppers and plugs used across state and local operations — including laboratory stoppers, test-tube closures, industrial equipment plugs, and utility line caps. State and local governments procure these consumable supplies through routine purchasing channels for maintenance, facilities operations, laboratory work, and utility management. The issuing bodies typically include state departments managing laboratory and maintenance functions, county facilities management offices, municipalities maintaining water and sewer infrastructure, school districts running science laboratories and maintenance operations, and special-purpose districts operating utility systems.

No recent state and local contract opportunities are present in the procurement record for this code. The absence of posted solicitations suggests either minimal current demand visibility in the market, procurement activity conducted through standing cooperative purchasing agreements or blanket orders rather than new competitive notices, or low transaction frequency for this commodity class.
