NIGP 19081: Pentachlorophenol (Penta), Creosote Oil, and Other Wood Preservatives

NIGP 19081 Pentachlorophenol (Penta), Creosote Oil, And Other Wood Preservatives is an Item code covering chemical wood-treatment products used to preserve utility poles, railroad ties, fence posts, and other timber infrastructure against decay and insect damage. State and local governments procure these preservatives primarily for transportation and utility maintenance — departments of transportation source them for bridge and culvert timber work, utilities purchase for pole replacement and maintenance programs, and public works departments acquire for general infrastructure preservation. The issuing bodies range across state DOT and utility agencies, county public works departments, and municipal maintenance operations.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for this Item code appear in the available procurement record. Activity under NIGP 19081 does not reflect sustained competitive solicitation volume among state and local agencies at this time. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state DOT capital maintenance and utility infrastructure modernization cycles, where wood preservative specifications may emerge as part of broader timber-component procurement initiatives, rather than expect standalone commodity solicitations.
