NIGP 57085: Tin

NIGP 57085 Tin, an Item code, covers the procurement of tin metal and tin-based materials by state and local governments for industrial, manufacturing, and infrastructure applications. State and local buyers under this code purchase tin ingots, tin plate, tin solder, tin alloys, and tin scrap for use in electronics manufacturing, plumbing systems, food-service equipment, and general fabrication work. The issuing bodies soliciting tin purchases span state departments of transportation and public works, county facilities and maintenance operations, city public utilities, school district plant operations, and municipal water authorities.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for tin procurement are present in the available source data. This absence may reflect the commodity's position as a secondary or consumables-level input rather than a primary procurement focus for most jurisdictions, or consolidation of tin purchases through established vendor relationships and blanket orders rather than competitive solicitation.
