NIGP 32036: Fasteners (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 32036 Fasteners (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses fastening supplies and related mechanical components that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, infrastructure repair, and capital project support. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying threaded products (hex bolts, cap screws, lock nuts, socket cap screws), fastening hardware (rivets, washers, hose clamps), brass fittings, and cathodic protection system components across multiple facility locations. Issuing bodies range from state departments (California Department of Water Resources) to county agencies (San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management) to regional transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority). Most activity appears in California, with repeat procurement volumes that suggest ongoing inventory replenishment and capital maintenance cycles rather than one-time buys.

Representative recent opportunities include Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB 250199 for threaded products and fasteners with an estimated three-year contract value of $150,000, bids due March 16, 2026, requiring North American-made Grade 8 bolts with ISO 17025 laboratory or MilSpec certification and firm fixed unit pricing with no increases permitted; San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management's ITB 6391 for over 500 line items of parts and supplies including fasteners, electrical supplies, and building materials, due June 19, 2026, with a 5 percent local vendor preference and Net 60 payment terms; and California Department of Water Resources' IFB #10215192 for cathodic protection services and remote monitoring across five State Water Project facility locations, due June 16, 2026, with a mandatory 3.0% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation commitment and a three-year initial term with options to renew.
