NIGP 54560: Presses, Wastepaper or Other Material (Not Automotive or Printing)

NIGP 54560 Presses, Wastepaper Or Other Material (Not Automotive Or Printing), an Item code, encompasses equipment used by state and local governments to compact, compress, or process waste materials and recyclables — though recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal. The scope includes balers, compactors, and similar material-handling machinery deployed in waste management, recycling, and sanitation operations by municipal departments, county facilities, and school districts managing solid waste streams.

State and local procurement activity under NIGP 54560 shows limited recent volume. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) titled "Law Enforcement Equipment - SW" — a cooperative purchasing vehicle advertised under Washington state law and spanning Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The RFP seeks to establish contracting solutions for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities, with submissions required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. This cooperative structure does not specify set-aside designations, award values, or budget ranges in available documentation. Beyond this single posted opportunity, the source provides no additional recent state and local solicitations under this NIGP code, indicating either sparse procurement activity or limited visibility in publicly tracked databases as of mid-2026.
