NIGP 86520: Cotton Twine

NIGP 86520 Cotton Twine is an Item code that names a single commodity line within a broader class, yet the recent state and local procurement activity available does not include any solicitations specifically for cotton twine. The most recent opportunity posted under this code's identifier is a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment — a product category well outside the scope of cotton twine procurement — suggesting either that the source material does not reflect current cotton-twine-specific opportunities or that this code sees minimal recent activity in state and local government purchasing.

Without recent solicitations explicitly requesting cotton twine, no reliable characterization of issuing-body types, geographic spread, or typical contracting patterns can be drawn from the available source material. Firms evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code should monitor Sourcewell and state-level cooperative purchasing portals, as well as individual county and municipal procurement offices in their target regions, for dedicated twine and cordage solicitations.
