NIGP 45004: Baling Wire and Ties

NIGP 45004 Baling Wire and Ties, an Item code, covers wire, twine, strapping, and fastening materials that state and local governments use to bundle, secure, and compress waste streams and recyclable materials in solid waste operations. Recent solicitations show the code is active in materials recovery and waste processing contexts, where baling wire and metal ties are consumable supplies integral to landfill operations, metals recovery systems, and waste-to-energy facility support. The issuing bodies under this code include county solid waste authorities and regional waste management districts, which procure these supplies as part of ongoing operations and equipment maintenance contracts for waste processing infrastructure.

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County in Florida posted RFP 26-206 in June 2026 for equipment, operations, and maintenance of an Advanced Metals Recovery Processing System at its North County Landfill, due July 16, 2026, which would encompass supplies such as baling wire and ties needed to process approximately 150,000 tons of bottom ash annually. Activity under this code is concentrated in waste management and solid waste recovery jurisdictions, particularly in Florida and other states with active landfill and waste-processing infrastructure. The code sees procurement activity primarily from county-level solid waste authorities rather than municipalities or school districts, reflecting the specialized nature of baling wire and ties demand in industrial waste operations.
