NIGP 45003: Adhesives: Glue and Glue Guns, Gum, Paste, etc.

NIGP 45003 Adhesives: Glue and Glue Guns, Gum, Paste, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure commodity adhesive supplies for operational use—primarily stock glues for central warehousing and maintenance operations that schools and other public entities replenish on an as-needed basis. Solicitations under this code specify branded products with strict no-substitution requirements, fixed pricing guarantees, and FOB Destination freight terms that bundle all transportation costs into the bid price. School districts emerge as the primary buyers in the recent record, reflecting the code's role in supporting routine custodial and operational supply chains rather than specialized or project-specific adhesive applications.

Recent activity is sparse in the available opportunities record. Jordan School District issued RFP 27BV15 in September 2026 for glue supply to its Central Warehouse under a one-year contract through August 31, 2027, with response due September 11, 2026. The solicitation enforces strict vendor eligibility—excluding surplus dealers, jobbers, and clearance resellers and requiring all products to be from the vendor's standard catalog with ongoing availability throughout the contract term. Pricing must be guaranteed for six months from award, quoted to two decimal places, and submitted under FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid terms with all transportation costs absorbed in the unit price. Geographic spread is not established by the available record; a single school district opportunity provides insufficient basis to characterize regional concentration or state-level activity patterns.
