NIGP 45074: Shaft Couplings, Flexible and Rigid

NIGP 45074 Shaft Couplings, Flexible and Rigid is an Item code under which state and local governments procure mechanical coupling components for industrial, law enforcement, and infrastructure equipment. The single recent opportunity supporting this code involves a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment, suggesting that shaft couplings are sourced as component parts within broader equipment categories rather than as standalone procurements. State and local buying under this code spans county governments, city procurement offices, school districts, and special-purpose districts participating in cooperative purchasing agreements. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, serves as the contracting vehicle for multiple participating jurisdictions, allowing individual agencies to leverage collective purchasing power while maintaining flexibility in how equipment solutions are deployed.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, closing June 16, 2026, on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation establishes a contracting framework for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Vendors were required to submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no bid documents were made available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. The source does not name other recent standalone opportunities specifically targeting shaft couplings, nor does it identify geographic concentration, award values, or set-aside designations for this code. Activity under NIGP 45074 appears limited in recent state and local procurement visibility.
