NIGP 76595 Wire Rope Accessories: Clamps, Clips, Cutters, Eyes, Hoists, Slings, Thimbles, Turnbuckles, Windlasses, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure lifting, rigging, and material-handling equipment and components — primarily hoists, hydraulic lift systems, and associated parts and services for fleet maintenance, infrastructure projects, and law enforcement operations. Recent solicitations show procurement demand centered on hydraulic lift equipment with rated capacities ranging from 14,500 pounds, specialized hoisting systems for department-of-transportation maintenance, and structured cabling and installation services that bundle wire rope accessories with broader electrical infrastructure work. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' departments, city departments of transportation, county transportation authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public agencies. A mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit characterizes the work; bidders typically must hold state contractor licenses, comply with prevailing wage requirements, and furnish performance and payment bonds.

Recent activity spans California, Michigan, and multi-state cooperative procurement frameworks.
