NIGP 57057: Shim Stock

NIGP 57057 Shim Stock, an Item code, covers thin metal or composite spacer materials that state and local governments procure for machinery alignment, equipment leveling, and structural adjustments in maintenance and construction contexts. Shim stock appears in the procurement records of state transportation departments, county facilities management offices, and municipal public works departments, typically bundled into broader maintenance-supply or capital-equipment RFQs rather than solicited as a standalone line item. The code captures both pre-cut shims in standard thicknesses and custom-fabricated shim assemblies, though recent state and local opportunities show demand concentrated in routine facilities maintenance and equipment service contracts rather than specialized engineering applications.

No recent state and local contract opportunities are present in the available procurement record for NIGP 57057 Shim Stock. This absence signals either low transaction volume under the code or procurement activity consolidated into parent commodity classes such as fasteners, metallic materials, or general maintenance supplies where shim stock is listed as a subordinate line item rather than the primary procurement focus.
