NIGP 40037: Castings, Lead

NIGP 40037 Castings, Lead is an Item code under which state and local governments procure lead castings for infrastructure repair, water systems, and industrial equipment applications. State and local procurement activity under this code spans water authorities, city public works departments, county maintenance operations, and specialized municipal utilities. The work is episodic and driven by asset replacement cycles, emergency repairs to aging water and sewer infrastructure, and routine equipment maintenance where lead castings are engineered components—such as valve bodies, pump housings, pipe fittings, and bearing blocks. Scope typically includes material specification compliance, dimensional tolerance requirements, and adherence to environmental and potability standards when the castings are bound for water-system contact.
