NIGP 45059: Measuring Devices for Cable, Hose, Rope, etc.

NIGP 45059 Measuring Devices For Cable, Hose, Rope, Etc., an Item code, covers specialized measurement and inspection equipment that state and local governments acquire as components of broader law enforcement, public safety, and utility operations. Based on recent procurement activity, this code captures tools and instruments used to assess the integrity, dimensions, and condition of cables, hoses, ropes, and similar linear materials in field and operational settings. Issuing bodies include state cooperative purchasing units, county governments, and public safety agencies that source these devices as part of equipment packages for law enforcement and emergency response. The scope reflects practical measurement capability embedded in larger procurement frameworks rather than standalone instrumentation.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, to establish law enforcement equipment contracts available to multiple participating entities across the United States and Canada, including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with thousands of eligible governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities nationwide. The procurement structure through Sourcewell's participation-addendum model allows selected vendors to reach a broad base of public-sector customers under standardized contracting terms while maintaining geographic and jurisdictional flexibility. Geographic activity centers on Washington state and the upper Midwest through the Sourcewell mechanism, which distributes purchasing power across state and local buying organizations. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and direct inquiries to rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
