NIGP 32035: Cotter Pins, Clevis Pins, Dowel Pins, Spring Pins, Taper Pins, and Woodruff Keys and Snaps

NIGP 32035 Cotter Pins, Clevis Pins, Dowel Pins, Spring Pins, Taper Pins, and Woodruff Keys and Snaps is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized fastening hardware and mechanical pins for maintenance, assembly, and equipment repair across utility, public safety, and municipal operations. The scope of work encompasses cotter pins, clevis pins, dowel pins, spring pins, taper pins, woodruff keys, and snaps used in electrical equipment assembly, substation infrastructure, and related mechanical systems. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities, city departments, and public safety agencies that source these components as part of larger equipment and materials procurements. The Lubbock Power & Light competitive quote for electrical components (due October 5, 2026) included fasteners and related hardware among 42 line items supporting substation operations, with delivery and pricing compliance as evaluation factors.

Recent activity shows procurement spread across Texas, with Lubbock Power & Light's electrical materials RFQ and the City of Tucson's badges and insignia proposal (due September 17, 2025) representing municipal and utility buying patterns in the region. The Lubbock solicitation emphasizes FOB-destination delivery to a specific substation location with firm pricing and material compliance documentation required. State and local procurement under this code focuses on routine materials sourcing for infrastructure maintenance and public safety operations, with vendors typically responding to competitive quotes or RFPs that bundle fastening hardware with broader equipment categories rather than stand-alone pins and fasteners purchases.
