NIGP 57016: Crayons, Metal Worker's

NIGP 57016 Crayons, Metal Worker's is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialty crayons used by metalworkers for marking, layout, and inspection purposes in fabrication, welding, and machining operations. The code captures a narrow product line — metal worker's crayons specifically, as distinct from general-purpose or artistic crayons — sold as consumable supplies to public maintenance shops, vocational education programs, transit maintenance facilities, and municipal equipment repair operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of transportation and public works, county maintenance shops, municipal public utilities, and independent school districts operating welding and fabrication labs. The product itself is straightforward: specialized marking crayons formulated for adhesion to metal surfaces and visibility under shop conditions, typically sold in bulk quantities as part of broader consumables contracts.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 57016. Without posted solicitation activity, no geographic concentration, issuing-body repeat patterns, or representative RFP/RFQ/IFB/ITB records can be established from current procurement data. This code segment remains quiet in the observed opportunity stream.
