NIGP 45004: Baling Wire and Ties

NIGP 45004 Baling Wire And Ties, an Item code, covers consumable fastening and binding materials used in waste processing, recycling operations, and materials handling—specifically wire and ties that secure bundled materials, aggregate, and recovered scrap at landfills and processing facilities. State and local governments buy these materials as operational supplies for solid waste authorities, county landfills, and advanced materials recovery systems that process bottom ash, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and aggregate in high-volume operations.

Recent solicitation activity shows narrow geographic concentration and low volume. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County posted RFP 26-206 on June 9, 2026, with a response deadline of July 16, 2026, for equipment, operations, and maintenance of an Advanced Metals Recovery Processing System at the North County Landfill in West Palm Beach, Florida—a facility processing approximately 150,000 tons of bottom ash annually from waste-to-energy operations. The scope includes supply and maintenance of the AMRPS and recovery of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and aggregate material. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, seeking law enforcement equipment for participating entities across Washington state and nationally—a broad cooperative framework that does not explicitly identify baling wire or ties as line items. The source identifies no other recent opportunities under this Item code in other states or jurisdictions. Activity remains sparse and geographically limited to Florida-based landfill operations in recent months.
