NIGP 32022: Bolts, Metal or Other Material (Not Steel)

NIGP 32022 Bolts, Metal Or Other Material (Not Steel), an Item code, encompasses fasteners and connecting hardware fabricated from non-steel metals that state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, and construction projects. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local purchasing under this code extends beyond simple bolt inventory to encompass fasteners specified within larger infrastructure and equipment procurement efforts, including components required for water treatment facility upgrades, welding equipment installations, and mechanical systems requiring non-ferrous or specialized metal fastening solutions. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal water districts and city governments managing infrastructure maintenance and capital improvement projects.

The City of Lavonia, Georgia, and the North Texas Municipal Water District represent recent procurement activity in this space. The City of Lavonia issued an IFB (Solicitation PE66940NONST2026000000005) on April 24, 2026, for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements with a sealed bid deadline of May 26, 2026, encompassing a nine-month construction project to upgrade the water treatment facility to 3.0 million gallons per day capacity—a scope that inherently incorporates fastening materials and hardware for basin modifications, filtration system upgrades, and equipment installation. The North Texas Municipal Water District Maintenance Department posted an IFB (Solicitation 26163B) on July 9, 2026, with a July 29, 2026, response date for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel welder/generators, a procurement that may drive demand for non-steel fasteners during equipment assembly and maintenance. Activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with recent opportunities spanning municipal water infrastructure and public utilities management.
