NIGP 77563: Salt, Evaporated

NIGP 77563 Salt, Evaporated is an Item code covering the procurement of evaporated salt products by state and local government agencies. State and local governments purchase evaporated salt primarily for water treatment, chemical processing, de-icing applications, and industrial uses where refined salt meeting specific purity and granulation standards is required. The code captures purchasing across a range of issuing bodies including state environmental and transportation departments, municipalities, water authorities, and county public works operations that source salt for both operational needs and resale to constituents or contractors.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 77563 appear in the available procurement records. The absence of posted solicitations does not necessarily indicate zero demand; many salt procurement activities occur through cooperative purchasing agreements, standing term contracts, or purchasing arrangements that do not generate individual RFPs or IFBs with publicly tracked response dates. Firms interested in this commodity should monitor cooperative purchasing catalogs and maintain relationships with state procurement offices and water utility purchasing contacts in jurisdictions with significant de-icing or water-treatment infrastructure demands.
