NIGP 57008: Bolt and Stud Stock, Steel

NIGP 57008 Bolt and Stud Stock, Steel is an Item code that captures fasteners and threaded steel hardware state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, and capital construction work. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses inventory supply to support transit operations, water infrastructure projects, and municipal facilities maintenance; solicitations typically specify fastener grades, sizes, materials compliance, and delivery schedules tied to operational or construction schedules. Issuing bodies include transit authorities, municipal utilities, and city public works departments, which source fasteners both through blanket purchase orders for routine stock replenishment and through project-specific procurements embedded in larger construction or facility-upgrade bids.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a blanket purchase order for tire and shop supplies (REQ2099086, due June 25, 2026) that includes fastener stock alongside consumables, indicating transit operations maintain standing inventory. The City of Lavonia, Georgia, embedded fastener and hardware requirements within a sealed competitive bid for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements (PE66940NONST2026000000005, due May 26, 2026), a nine-month construction project requiring Build America, Buy America compliance and DBE participation goals of 4.0% each for minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Recent activity shows purchasing spread across the South and includes both transit and municipal utility sectors. The code remains moderately active in state and local procurement, with opportunities typically issued as standing-inventory orders or as line-item components of larger capital or maintenance projects rather than as discrete fastener-procurement RFPs.
