NIGP 32056: Recycled Fastening, Packaging, Strapping and Tying Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 32056 Recycled Fastening, Packaging, Strapping And Tying Equipment And Supplies is an Item code covering remanufactured or reclaimed fasteners, strapping materials, binding equipment, and packaging supplies that state and local governments procure for maintenance, facilities management, and general operations. The code captures bolt, screw, nail, and rivet stock sourced from recycled or surplus inventories, along with associated strapping tape, wire, cord, and mechanical tying or fastening equipment intended to reduce procurement costs and support sustainability goals. Buying bodies span state departments, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts that manage warehousing, fleet maintenance, and capital project workflows where recycled-source materials meet specification and cost requirements. The scope reflects a niche procurement pathway within the broader fastening and packaging commodity family, typically pursued when budget constraints or environmental mandates favor recovered-inventory sourcing.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available records for NIGP 32056. The absence of visible solicitations under this Item code suggests limited current procurement activity or a market segment where demand fluctuates with surplus-inventory availability rather than steady-state government contracting cycles.
