NIGP 44546: Levels, Chalk Lines, Chalk Line Refills, etc.

NIGP 44546 Levels, Chalk Lines, Chalk Line Refills, Etc. is an Item code covering hand tools and marking supplies for construction, maintenance, and trade work—specifically spirit levels, laser levels, chalk line reels, and chalk refills that state and local agencies purchase for field operations and capital projects. State and local governments buy these tools through a mix of issuing bodies including state departments of transportation, public works agencies, county maintenance operations, municipal public utilities, and school district facilities teams. The work is straightforward procurement of commodity tools and consumables, typically bundled into larger facilities maintenance or construction project contracts rather than solicited as standalone specialty items.

The source material provided contains no identifiable recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IBFs, or ITBs naming issuing bodies, response dates, or scopes of work, a geographic characterization of current activity and representative recent solicitations cannot be drawn from available data. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and state construction prime contracts where marking and leveling tools are typically itemized as subordinate line items rather than primary procurement vehicles.
