NIGP 59008: Buttons, All Kinds

NIGP 59008 Buttons, All Kinds is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fastening and closure hardware across apparel, uniform, and equipment applications. The code covers buttons in all materials — metal, plastic, wood, shell, and composite — and all fastening mechanisms, including shank buttons, sew-through buttons, toggle buttons, and snap fasteners. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand from multiple issuing-body types: state departments, county and municipal governments, school districts, and transit authorities. Procurement volumes range from small quantities for uniform replacement and maintenance programs to larger orders for initial outfitting of personnel or seasonal apparel stock.

The source provided does not name recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 59008, making it impossible to characterize current geographic activity, representative solicitations, or issuing-body concentration at this time. Given the code's narrow, commodity-focused scope and the absence of recent-opportunities data, activity under this Item code may be light relative to broader apparel and uniform procurement, or opportunities may be aggregated at higher classification levels such as NIGP 590 Apparel, Fabrics, and Notions.
