NIGP 70016: Casting Metals: Linotype, Intertype, and Strip

NIGP 70016 Casting Metals: Linotype, Intertype, and Strip is an Item code that addresses specialty metal casting for legacy typesetting and strip-casting applications, a narrow procurement category that has seen minimal recent state and local activity. The code historically supported hot-metal typesetting equipment casting—linotype and intertype machines that were standard in print shops and newspapers through the late twentieth century—and strip-casting processes for specialized metalworking, but the installed base of such equipment in active public-sector use has contracted substantially with the transition to digital publishing and modern manufacturing.

The source contains no records of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. Procurement under NIGP 70016 does not reflect current state and local government purchasing priorities and does not warrant active pursuit at this time.
