NIGP 52049: Measurement Devices, Foot

NIGP 52049 Measurement Devices, Foot (Item) covers precision and utility foot-measurement tools that state and local governments procure for facilities, construction, maintenance, and field operations — including tape measures, rulers, measuring wheels, and graduated scales used in engineering, surveying, building inspection, and grounds maintenance. The code sees solicitation from state departments of transportation and public works, county facilities and maintenance offices, municipal public works departments, school districts, and special-purpose districts managing infrastructure and grounds. Buyers typically solicit these as line items within broader facilities-maintenance and equipment RFQs or ITBs rather than as standalone procurements, reflecting their role as consumable or replacement stock for ongoing operations.

No recent state and local contract opportunities are currently posted under this NIGP code. The absence of active solicitations may indicate that jurisdictions are meeting demand through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, state blanket contracts, or routine small-value purchases that do not trigger formal RFP or ITB activity.
