NIGP 40048: Castings, Stainless Steel

NIGP 40048 Castings, Stainless Steel is an Item code under which state and local governments procure stainless steel castings — metal parts formed by pouring molten steel into molds — for infrastructure, equipment, and facility applications. The code covers finished castings in stainless grades used in corrosion-prone environments, seawater service, high-temperature applications, and general structural or mechanical use. State and local procurement under this code spans municipal water and wastewater utilities, public works departments, transit authorities, and specialized manufacturing or maintenance operations that depend on durable, corrosion-resistant metal components. Typical applications include valve bodies, pump housings, structural brackets, flanges, and custom parts for treatment equipment, highway infrastructure, and fleet maintenance.
