NIGP 42577: Safety Step Stepladders (for Office Use)

NIGP 42577 Safety Step Stepladders (For Office Use), an Item code, encompasses stepladders and related access equipment that state and local governments procure for workplace safety across administrative, law enforcement, and facility operations. The code sees activity from school districts, municipal governments, and specialized cooperative purchasing vehicles. State and local buyers source stepladders as part of broader safety equipment and office supplies procurement, often bundled with personal protective equipment, safety accessories, and general safety items within composite RFPs or catalog bids rather than as standalone line items. The issuing-body mix includes independent school districts, county and municipal purchasing offices, and statewide cooperative purchasing entities that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent solicitations show the code active across the South and Pacific Northwest. Donna Independent School District (Cameron County, Texas) posted RFP 011326-869 on March 21, 2026, seeking office supplies and furniture at catalog discounts for the 2026-2027 school year, with response due April 8, 2026.

Stepladders appear in these procurements as commodity-level line items within safety or facilities support purchasing, typically quoted on a unit-price basis with shipping included and awarded on either an all-or-none or item-by-item vendor structure.
