NIGP 45022: Cloth, Hardware

NIGP 45022 Cloth, Hardware is an Item code under which state and local governments procure hardware cloth and related fastening materials for construction, renovation, and law enforcement equipment applications. Recent solicitations show the code capturing hardware components for building entrance systems, structural reinforcement in acoustic and flooring installations, and equipment assembly in law enforcement procurement frameworks. The issuing bodies include county governments, construction management firms acting as agents for county capital projects, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell serving multi-jurisdictional and multi-entity consortia. The scope ranges from aluminum storefront entrance hardware and fastening systems for courthouse renovations to standardized hardware components embedded in law enforcement equipment procurements available to participating governmental entities across multiple states.

Portage County, Wisconsin, and participating Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) represent recent activity under the code. A representative opportunity is Portage County Purchasing Department's Phase 1 Portage County Courthouse Remodel-Entrance project (Solicitation 202617PC, IFB, due June 2, 2026), which includes Aluminum Entrances & Storefronts as a trade package with bids due electronically through J.H. Findorff's platform.
