NIGP 40048: Castings, Stainless Steel

NIGP 40048 Castings, Stainless Steel is an Item code covering the procurement and supply of stainless steel castings used in state and local infrastructure and facility projects. The available recent opportunities do not show direct purchases of stainless steel castings; the single posted solicitation from Ada County, Idaho concerns concrete polishing and flooring work at a juvenile detention facility, which falls outside the scope of stainless steel casting procurement. The sourcing patterns and issuing-body distribution for this code remain unclear based on current market activity.

Ada County issued a competitive sealed bid (BID26038, Ada County Juvenile Services Concrete Polishing Phase II) with a response deadline of March 18, 2026, but this procurement targets concrete surface preparation and polishing rather than stainless steel casting supply. No recent state or local solicitations are documented in the available record that directly solicit stainless steel castings, making it difficult to characterize current demand, geographic spread, or the typical issuing bodies active under this code. Business development professionals should monitor for future postings that align with the actual scope of the NIGP 40048 Item code rather than rely on the limited activity currently visible.
