NIGP 59036: Hooks and Eyes

NIGP 59036 Hooks and Eyes is an Item code under the Hardware and Fasteners Class that covers mechanical fastening hardware used across a broad range of state and local government operations. State and local buyers procure hooks and eyes for equipment assembly, maintenance, rigging, securing loads, industrial operations, and general construction applications. These are standard fasteners appearing in solicitations alongside other hardware commodities rather than as standalone specialty items. Issuing bodies include state departments managing facilities and equipment, county maintenance operations, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities. The code sees activity across purchasing departments managing inventory and facilities management contracts, though it does not constitute a primary procurement focus for any particular jurisdiction type — these are typically bought as components within larger hardware, maintenance, or construction supply contracts rather than as dedicated solicitations.

The recent-opportunities block contains no posted solicitations specifically naming NIGP 59036 Hooks and Eyes. This reflects the commodity's nature as a supplementary fastening item absorbed into broader hardware or maintenance procurement rather than as a standalone procurement driver. Buyers in this category tend to source hooks and eyes through cooperative purchasing agreements, blanket orders with industrial suppliers, or as line items within larger facilities maintenance or construction contracts. The code remains active in state and local procurement but does not generate standalone RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices sufficient to establish current geographic concentration or representative opportunity detail.
