NIGP 78028: Counting Scales

NIGP 78028 Counting Scales, an Item code, covers precision weighing instruments that enumerate and weigh discrete units simultaneously — equipment state and local governments procure for recycling centers, waste management facilities, inventory control in public warehouses, and material-handling operations where unit accuracy and weight tracking matter jointly. The code captures floor scales, bench scales, and portable counting scales calibrated to track both piece count and aggregate weight in real time, distinguishing it from general-purpose weighing equipment. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county waste and recycling departments, municipal public works divisions, and state environmental or transportation agencies managing materials inventory and waste streams.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available records for NIGP 78028 Counting Scales. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity in the current data, geographic concentration and representative recent solicitation detail cannot be established. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state procurement portals and county waste-management purchasing cycles, where counting-scale demand clusters around facility upgrades and equipment replacement schedules.
