NIGP 69173: Sheaves/Belt Sprockets (V-Belt, Poly Chain, HTD, Timing Sprockets)

NIGP 69173 Sheaves/Belt Sprockets (V-Belt, Poly Chain, HTD, Timing Sprockets) is an Item code encompassing polymeric and timing chains, sprockets, and related power-transmission components that state and local governments procure for equipment maintenance, replacement, and repair across facilities and fleet operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county departments of financial services and public works, typically through informal written quotations (IWQ) and invitation to bid (ITB) notices. The work involves purchasing standard off-catalog parts in moderate quantities—often in the dozens to low hundreds of units—with straightforward specifications tied to equipment model numbers and approved equivalents, combined with delivery and payment terms negotiated on a per-solicitation basis.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, Purchasing Division, posted IWQ 133561 on July 29, 2026, requesting 150 units of polymeric chain (REXNORD NH78 or approved equivalent) with quotations due August 5, 2026; unit pricing was to include all charges and delivery, with FOB Destination delivery to the county's DWR Central Facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and payment within thirty days of invoice receipt. A second Georgia solicitation from DeKalb County, ITB 2026-076-ITB, posted June 9, 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center, included IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation with all associated materials, conduit, cabling, and terminations, suggesting tangential demand for related power-transmission and support components within larger capital projects. Both opportunities involved modest contracting infrastructure—no bond requirements for the parts purchase, three references and non-collusion certification on the polymeric-chain buy, and standard payment processing through ePayables or direct deposit.
