NIGP 32071: Screws, Coach, Drywall, Eye, Lag, Phillips, Set, Thumb, etc.

NIGP 32071 Screws, Coach, Drywall, Eye, Lag, Phillips, Set, Thumb, Etc., an Item code, encompasses fasteners and hardware components that state and local governments procure as line items within larger construction, maintenance, and repair projects. The recent solicitations under this code show fasteners being sourced as part of comprehensive interior restoration work, including drywall installation, cabinetry, and building system repairs. Issuing bodies range from housing authorities to educational cooperative purchasing consortiums, with work typically embedded in broader IFB or competitive sealed proposal efforts rather than standalone fastener procurements. The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda and Harris County Department of Education represent the kinds of public entities sourcing materials under this code alongside general contractors and maintenance vendors.

The most recent activity centers on California and Texas. The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda issued IFB AHA-HD-009 in July 2026 for water damage repairs at Independent Plaza (703 and 711 Atlantic Avenue), with bids due August 5, 2026, requiring drywall, flooring, and cabinet replacement across residential units and common areas subject to prevailing wage requirements. Harris County Department of Education, in partnership with cooperative purchasing vehicle Choice Partners, issued Competitive Sealed Proposal 26021MR in May 2026 for painting, drywall, acoustical ceilings, and flooring services across one year with up to three renewal terms and a maximum annual aggregate contract price of $200 million, structured as both a maintenance component and a job order contracting component with coefficient-multiplier pricing against established unit price books. These opportunities signal demand for fasteners as component materials within larger restoration and maintenance contracts, though procurement typically occurs downstream from prime contractor award rather than through direct government fastener sourcing.
