NIGP 61586: Tags, Marking and Shipping, Stock

NIGP 61586 Tags, Marking And Shipping, Stock is an Item code under which state and local governments procure identification, inspection, and asset-tracking tags for operational and regulatory purposes. The recent opportunities under this code show that jurisdictions are buying waterproof plastic inspection tags, asset identification markers, key-control systems, and related marking supplies to track maintenance work, regulate facility access, and document service delivery across departments and specialized operations.

State, county, and city purchasing offices issue solicitations under this code, with the City of Tampa Water Department and Hillsborough County appearing as repeat buyers. The City of Tampa has conducted two separate solicitations for asset inspection tags (posted March 24 and April 13, 2026), both issued through the Government Purchasing Council as sheltered market opportunities for Small Local Business Enterprises. Marion County Fire Rescue in Florida is seeking compatible Knox Box key-control systems to integrate with existing infrastructure serving over 300 commercial properties. The City of Dallas has solicited a three-year indefinite-delivery master agreement for door hardware, key blanks, and locksmith services across all city departments (ITB BF2600030106, due April 17, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with procurement notices posted between March and May 2026. The Tampa Water Department's asset inspection tag contracts carry an estimated value of $35,000 each and require delivery within ten calendar days, with tags color-coded by year and customized with department contact information and dimensions of 4 inches by 6 inches. Both Tampa solicitations designate the opportunity as sheltered for SLBEs, offering a bid discount of up to 5 percent not to exceed $10,000, and require conformance to WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards and Section 508 requirements.
