NIGP 45057: Mailboxes and Supports

NIGP 45057 Mailboxes and Supports, an Item code, encompasses physical mail receptacles, post systems, and mounting hardware that state and local governments procure for facility operations, law enforcement deployments, and public infrastructure. The code appears in state and local solicitations primarily as a component within larger law enforcement and facilities equipment packages rather than as standalone procurement vehicles, reflecting its integration into multi-item contracting frameworks.

Sourcewell, the Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle available to Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with thousands of public entities nationwide and in Canada. The cooperative structure positions mailbox and support systems as part of a broader standardized contracting solution for law enforcement equipment, allowing participating jurisdictions to draw on established pricing and terms rather than conduct individual solicitations. The solicitation required proposal submission through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal with no set-aside designations identified in available documentation. Recent activity under this code concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and reflects the cooperative purchasing model's dominance in state and local procurement infrastructure.
