NIGP 54543 Metal Electroplating Machine, Accessories & Supplies is an Item code covering plating equipment, treatment chemicals, consumables, and related supplies used in metal finishing operations at state and local facilities. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for maintenance and repair of metal components across law enforcement equipment, vehicle fleets, infrastructure systems, and facility fixtures where corrosion protection or surface hardening is required.
