NIGP 66567: Plastic Forming and Molding Supplies: Catalysts, Colorants, Mold Release Compounds, Resins, etc.

NIGP 66567, Plastic Forming and Molding Supplies: Catalysts, Colorants, Mold Release Compounds, Resins, Etc., is an Item code covering raw materials and chemical inputs for plastic manufacturing and fabrication processes. State and local governments purchase under this code primarily for operational needs tied to correctional industries, manufacturing enterprises, and facility maintenance programs. The California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority (CALCTRA) represents the dominant recent buyer, soliciting mattress and pillow vinyl fabrics for the Mattress Manufacturing Enterprise at Mule Creek State Prison—a state-operated prison industry that produces goods for internal use and sale. The work solicited consists of bulk fabric materials, chemical compounds, and processing inputs required to support ongoing manufacturing operations. Counties, state departments, and special-purpose correctional entities represent the issuing-body mix, though recent activity concentrates heavily on state-level procurement through CALCTRA's prison industry program.

California dominates recent activity under this code, with CALCTRA's repeated solicitations for vinyl fabric inputs (IFB-RW2637002 in June 2026 and IFB-RW2637008 in September 2026, both for Mule Creek State Prison with response dates of June 30, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively) representing the only documented state and local opportunities. The repeated solicitations within the same calendar year signal recurring material demand and possible supplier continuity issues or contract renewals. No significant geographic dispersal beyond California appears in the recent-opportunities record. CALCTRA requires responsive, responsible bidders to maintain $1 million per occurrence liability insurance, comply with California Fair Employment and Housing Act nondiscrimination requirements, submit STD 204 and STD 205 forms, and meet F.O.B. Destination delivery terms; awards are made on best-value basis subject to California Prison Industry Board funding approval, with immediate termination rights for schedule or compliance failures.
