About NIGP 44557
NIGP 44557 Rules, Squares, and Tapes (Carpenter, Etc.), an Item code, covers hand-held measuring and layout tools that carpenters, construction crews, and maintenance staff use on job sites—primarily steel rules, tape measures, carpenter's squares, and combination squares. State and local governments procure these tools for capital projects, routine building maintenance, school facility upkeep, and transit or utility infrastructure work. The buying base spans state departments of transportation and public works, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose districts managing facilities or grounds. These are consumable or replacement items with relatively short procurement lead times and modest per-unit costs, typically sourced through standing contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or small routine IFBs rather than formal RFPs.
