NIGP 59060: Slide Fasteners (Zippers)

NIGP 59060 Slide Fasteners (Zippers), an Item code, covers zippers and related slide fastener products that state and local governments procure for equipment assembly, apparel, and operational supplies. The recent solicitation activity under this code centers on zippers as component materials or finished goods incorporated into larger procurements rather than as standalone end-user products. State and local issuing bodies—including corrections departments, transportation agencies, and other operational departments—use this code when zippers are embedded in procurement specifications or when they serve as supply-line items supporting facility operations or equipment maintenance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) posted solicitation IW240772 in March 2026, structured as a multi-item sealed-bid procurement with unit-based pricing across multiple line items, allowing the state to award on low line item bids, low total bids, or any combination serving its best interest.

The source provides limited geographic spread; Texas activity is documented through the TDCJ procurement. The TDCJ solicitation (IW240772) issued a sealed-bid notice due March 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM, with an extension to March 3, 2026 at 3:00 PM per Amendment 01. Vendors must provide firm pricing for thirty days following bid opening, indicate delivery timeframes with a default of fourteen calendar days, and comply with E-Verify requirements, suspension and debarment certification, antitrust laws, Section 508 accessibility standards, and prohibitions on boycotting Israel and designated foreign entities. Delivery is F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid unless otherwise specified, and payment is made thirty calendar days after the later of invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion. No budget values, set-aside designations, or final award amounts are detailed in the available documentation.
