NIGP 45051: Ladders, Wood, All Types (see Class 340 for Fire Ladders)

NIGP 45051 Ladders, Wood, All Types (Item) encompasses wooden ladder procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation record does not directly reflect equipment categorized as wood ladders. The Santa Monica Fire Department's April 2026 RFP for fire apparatus specified equipment including a 100-foot telescoping aerial ladder as a component of Tractor Drawn Aerial Trucks; while the primary solicitation addresses aerial apparatus procurement under broader fire equipment codes, the ladder specification signals that municipal fire departments source specialized ladder systems through capital equipment procurements. Klein ISD's concurrent RFP for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources similarly does not itemize wood ladders as a standalone procurement line. State and local governments issuing under this code typically include city fire departments, counties, municipalities, and school districts procuring wooden ladders for maintenance, construction, and emergency-response operations. The issuing bodies in the recent record span California (Santa Monica) and Texas (Klein ISD, Harris County), though the sourcing patterns do not isolate wood-ladder procurement as a discrete category.

Recent activity under 45051 is minimal in the visible opportunities block. The Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP #472, due June 11, 2026, centered on fire engines and aerial apparatus; Klein ISD's RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026, addressed instructional supplies and equipment across 17 CTE program areas and advanced academics. Neither solicitation lists wood ladders as a primary procurement object. The source provides no standalone RFQ, RFP, or IFB dedicated to wooden ladder supply, pricing, or delivery terms. Geographic concentration cannot be reliably characterized from this dataset, as the opportunities block does not isolate jurisdictions actively buying wood ladders at the Item level. This code warrants monitoring for bundled ladder components in municipal safety and maintenance RFPs, but direct opportunity flow is not evident in current state and local procurement notices.
