NIGP 54043: Lumber, Walnut

NIGP 54043 Lumber, Walnut is an Item code with limited recent state and local procurement activity. The source identifies a single recent opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — but that solicitation addresses law enforcement equipment, not lumber or wood products, and appears to be misclassified or misattributed to this code. The underlying scope of work under NIGP 54043 should encompass walnut lumber in various forms (rough-sawn, dimensioned, finished) for use in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, interior finishes, and specialty woodworking by state and local agencies, though the recent-opportunities record does not substantiate active procurement demand under this code.

No representative walnut-lumber solicitations are evident in the available recent-opportunities data. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, is the lone issuing body named, but its RFP concerns law enforcement equipment rather than lumber procurement. Without additional documented state or local walnut-lumber bids, RFQs, or IFBs, the code appears inactive in the recent procurement cycle. Business development professionals should monitor for future activity but should not expect near-term pursuit opportunities based on current market signals.
