NIGP 31860: Receiver Bin/Terminal

NIGP 31860 Receiver Bin/Terminal, an Item code, covers fixed and portable storage and handling equipment used in grain receiving, agricultural commodity intake, and material transfer operations at agricultural facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers. State and local governments procure receiver bins and terminal equipment primarily through county extension services, agricultural departments, state grain inspection agencies, and regional agricultural cooperatives that support commodity programs, farm-to-market infrastructure, and emergency food systems. The equipment typically includes grain legs, conveyors, scales, sorting mechanisms, and related mechanical or pneumatic transfer systems that move commodities from collection points into storage or processing.

No recent state or local procurement opportunities under NIGP 31860 appear in the source data. The sparse activity under this Item code reflects that receiver bin and terminal procurement is concentrated among specialized agricultural departments and commodity boards rather than general-purpose state and local purchasing vehicles. When this equipment is procured, it often flows through cooperative purchasing agreements with agricultural cooperatives or regional commodity organizations rather than through standalone RFP or IFB notices. Firms pursuing this code should monitor county agricultural extension office solicitations, state department of agriculture capital equipment notices, and regional commodity-association purchasing consortia.
