NIGP 45063: Pulleys and Sheaves

NIGP 45063 Pulleys and Sheaves, an Item code, covers mechanical power-transmission components that state and local governments procure as parts within larger equipment assemblies and capital installations rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The code captures pulleys, sheaves, and related sheave systems used in maintenance, equipment repair, building systems, and specialized machinery across public agencies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, municipal departments, school districts, and specialized purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The primary recent activity centers on cooperative purchasing vehicles that establish framework agreements for broader equipment categories, with individual pulleys and sheaves available as component lines within those contracts.

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. This cooperative procurement, advertised under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), aggregates demand from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, creating a framework agreement available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. Pulleys and sheaves appear as potential component lines within this law enforcement equipment framework rather than as discrete solicitations. The geographic spread of recent cooperative activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota, though the Sourcewell vehicle expands potential reach to public entities nationwide and in Canada. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
