NIGP 57057: Shim Stock

NIGP Item 57057 Shim Stock covers thin, precisely dimensioned metal or composite spacers and alignment materials that state and local governments procure for equipment maintenance, machinery calibration, and structural adjustment work. Shims are consumable or semi-consumable components used across facilities management, fleet maintenance, building systems, and industrial plant operations; they support alignment, leveling, and load distribution in mechanical assemblies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county facilities departments, city public works agencies, school district maintenance operations, and transit authorities managing fleets and infrastructure. The code captures routine procurement of standard shim stock in bulk quantities as well as specialized or custom-cut materials for site-specific applications.
