NIGP 20347: Fasteners and Accessories, Thumb Lock, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 20347 Fasteners and Accessories, Thumb Lock, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized fastening components with environmental certifications, particularly thumb-lock mechanisms and related hardware. The limited recent solicitation activity under this code reflects narrow demand for certified fasteners in state and local procurement, with the sole posted opportunity focused on ancillary equipment rather than the fastener category itself.

The State of Illinois posted a small purchase sole source notice (26565IGBFISADB52162) on April 24, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 7, 2026, for live scan fingerprinting equipment to be deployed at casino facilities statewide. This procurement, administered by the Illinois Chief Procurement Office, required a twelve-month warranty and commercial general liability insurance minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The source material does not provide additional recent opportunities, geographic spread beyond Illinois, or issuing-body mix; the single posted opportunity falls outside the fastener and accessories scope and may reflect cataloging variance rather than genuine activity under this Item code. Firms pursuing state and local business should verify current demand signals through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct outreach to purchasing offices, as this code appears to see minimal recent procurement volume.
