NIGP 57006: Aluminum Ingots

NIGP 57006 Aluminum Ingots is an Item code under which state and local governments procure raw and semi-finished metal materials for water infrastructure, municipal operations, and related applications. However, the recent solicitation activity under this code shows purchasing focused on finished brass repair parts rather than raw aluminum ingots — specifically brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for municipal water systems. The City of Arlington, Texas represents the recent issuing-body activity, indicating municipal water departments and public utilities are the primary buyers under this code's current scope.

The City of Arlington posted an annual requirements contract solicitation (IFB 270041) on September 23, 2026, with response due October 22, 2026, for brass water repair parts to replenish warehouse stock. The city conducts all solicitation notification and distribution exclusively through Euna Procurement; bidders receiving specifications or addenda through other channels risk non-compliance. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged, though sealed paper bids are accepted if clearly labeled with company name, solicitation number, and title; late submissions are rejected. Recent posting activity remains limited to Texas municipal procurement under this code.
