NIGP 44591: Wrenches, All Kinds (Including Sockets)

NIGP 44591 Wrenches, All Kinds (Including Sockets) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure hand tools for maintenance, repair, and construction work. The recent opportunities block shows sparse activity tied to this specific code; the two posted solicitations are a water main upgrade project managed by the Maryland Environmental Service and a janitorial-and-operational-supplies contract for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, neither of which foregrounds wrenches or socket tools as primary line items. State and local buyers under this code typically include facilities maintenance departments, public works agencies, county fire and rescue operations, transportation departments, and special districts managing infrastructure; the issuing bodies in the recent record span a state environmental agency and a county government.

Geographic activity appears limited in the recent record to Maryland and Florida. The Maryland Environmental Service posted an IFB for water main work at Janes Island State Park with an August 10, 2026 response date and a 13% MBE participation goal; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for consumable supplies (ITB2600319) due July 24, 2026, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year, serving 47 fire stations across the county. The relative scarcity of recent opportunities specifically tagged to wrenches and socket tools suggests this code sees lighter posting volume compared to broader maintenance and repair categories, or that purchasing activity clusters under broader industrial-supplies or facilities-maintenance codes at the state and local level.
