NIGP 45022: Cloth, Hardware

NIGP 45022 Cloth, Hardware, an Item code, encompasses hardware components and fastening systems used in building construction and renovation projects by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments procure items under this code as part of larger capital improvement efforts—specifically, entrance systems, ceiling installations, flooring applications, and related structural work. The issuing-body mix includes county governments and construction management firms acting on behalf of county purchasing departments, along with cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple counties and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitation activity shows that counties manage these procurements directly through their purchasing departments or route them through construction managers at risk, while cooperative purchasing entities broker law enforcement equipment and related hardware to participating jurisdictions across multiple states.

The code's recent activity concentrates in the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with county-level procurement offices driving the majority of recent solicitations.
