NIGP 76593: Wire Rope

NIGP 76593 Wire Rope, an Item code, covers wire rope and cable products that state and local governments procure for construction, infrastructure maintenance, law enforcement, and transportation applications. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying wire rope as a component within broader equipment or construction contracts rather than as standalone commodity orders. Issuing bodies span county governments, regional cooperatives, and special-purpose districts. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based governmental purchasing cooperative, issues contracts on behalf of participating entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions, while county-level procurement offices handle direct construction and equipment needs.

Activity under this code appears in the Pacific Northwest and California. Santa Clara County, California posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026; the scope includes removal and replacement of Midwest Guardrail System components, which may incorporate wire rope as a safety barrier element. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment, with proposals due June 16, 2026, made available to thousands of participating governmental entities and public bodies across the United States and Canada through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No dollar values or set-aside designations are disclosed in either solicitation.
