NIGP 40045: Castings, Malleable Iron

NIGP 40045 Castings, Malleable Iron is an Item code covering ductile or malleable iron castings used in infrastructure, equipment assembly, and replacement components across state and local agencies. State and local governments procure these castings primarily for water and wastewater system upgrades, public works equipment manufacturing and repair, transit authority fleet maintenance, and general maintenance of piping systems and mechanical equipment in municipal facilities. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation and public works, county public utilities and maintenance operations, city water and sewer departments, and municipal equipment repair shops. School districts and transit authorities also source malleable iron castings for facility and vehicle maintenance programs, though at lower volume than water utilities and transportation departments.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available records for NIGP 40045 Castings, Malleable Iron. The absence of posted solicitations suggests either limited procurement volume under this specific code tier, longer procurement cycles typical of commodities purchased through standing or cooperative agreements, or reclassification of casting purchases under broader material or equipment codes within individual jurisdictions.
