NIGP 79505: Bartacking Machines

NIGP 79505 Bartacking Machines, an Item code, encompasses industrial sewing equipment designed to create reinforced stitching at stress points in textiles and fabric goods. State and local governments procure bartacking machines primarily for correctional facilities, where they are used to manufacture or repair uniforms, work clothing, bedding, and other institutional textiles; for school districts and vocational programs that operate sewing labs; and occasionally for public works departments maintaining fleet uniforms or protective gear. The machines serve both production and maintenance functions within these institutional settings.
