NIGP 59008: Buttons, All Kinds

NIGP 59008 Buttons, All Kinds is an Item code under which state and local governments procure uniform buttons for agency personnel. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple solicitations for uniform buttons in recent months, indicating active demand for branded button supply. The work involves supplying buttons meeting specified standards—including brand-name Waterbury Buttons—to state agencies for uniform applications. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state procurement offices managing uniform supply chains for state workforce attire. Vendors responding must comply with state certifications and disclosure requirements, maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and keep auditable records for a minimum of three years (five years if federal funds are involved). No set-aside designations or vendor-classification preferences are noted in the available documentation.

The State of Illinois represents the recent geographic activity visible in this code. Two representative opportunities posted in early 2026 illustrate the procurement pattern: the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued an IFB for uniform buttons (solicitation 26493ISPADMINB51003) with a due date of February 13, 2026, and a follow-up proposal solicitation (26493ISPFORENB51504) posted March 16, 2026, with a March 19, 2026 submission deadline. Both solicitations required compliance with Illinois state certifications and standard terms and conditions, though specific quantities, detailed button specifications, and award values were not disclosed in the available documentation. The tight three- to four-day response windows on these solicitations suggest existing or urgent replenishment demand within the state procurement pipeline.
