NIGP 57857: Non-Metallic Structural Shapes (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 57857 Non-Metallic Structural Shapes (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses procurement of specialty structural components and equipment assemblies that state and local governments source for infrastructure, parks, and public safety applications. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity centered on integrated system components—irrigation controllers, flow meters, and valve assemblies for parks infrastructure—and law enforcement equipment frameworks handled through cooperative purchasing vehicles. State and local issuing bodies using this code span counties, cities, special districts, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, appears as a repeat buyer, aggregating demand across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County in Washington, and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Florida based on recent postings. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, structured as a cooperative contract vehicle to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada. The City of DeBary, Florida posted a competitive bid (Bid 0315) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements, an IFB seeking conversion of irrigation infrastructure to a Hunter system with an Engineer's estimate of $90,000 and a 45-calendar-day completion window from notice to proceed. Vendors should access Sourcewell opportunities through its proprietary Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; traditional state bid systems such as Washington's WEBS are not used for these solicitations.
