NIGP 44515: Chisels, Drawknives, Planes, etc.

NIGP 44515 Chisels, Drawknives, Planes, Etc., an Item code, covers hand woodworking and finishing tools that state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, construction, and facility management operations. The code captures traditional edge tools used in carpentry, cabinetry, joinery, and general building trades — chisels in various widths and profiles, hand planes for stock removal and surface finishing, drawknives for shaping curved work, and related implements. State and local issuing bodies including facilities maintenance departments, public works divisions, school district maintenance shops, and transit authorities source these tools for on-site workforce use, equipment repair, and construction support.

No recent state or local contract opportunities under NIGP 44515 appear in the current procurement record. The code represents a straightforward commodity purchase with minimal solicitation activity visible at the state and local level; procurement under this item typically occurs through smaller RFQs, cooperative-purchasing agreements with tool suppliers, or standing orders against master service agreements rather than formal competitive notices.
