NIGP 42577: Safety Step Stepladders (for Office Use)

NIGP 42577, Safety Step Stepladders (For Office Use), is an Item code for portable, freestanding ladder equipment commonly stocked by state and local agencies for routine facilities maintenance, custodial operations, and general office support tasks. State and local governments procure stepladders under this code through both direct purchase and cooperative-purchasing frameworks, often bundling them into broader equipment and supplies agreements that serve multiple departments and jurisdiction types simultaneously.
