NIGP 95141: Raw Materials Purchased, Exempt

NIGP 95141 Raw Materials Purchased, Exempt is an Item code encompassing tangible materials and supplies that state and local governments procure for direct use in operations and maintenance activities, typically at unit costs below specified thresholds. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures building materials for departmental use—items such as lumber, fasteners, hardware, and other construction supplies purchased in smaller quantities for ongoing maintenance and repair rather than major capital projects. The issuing bodies under this code include municipal governments, which solicit through competitive bidding processes to establish annual supply agreements serving multiple internal departments. The City of Temple represents the primary recent buyer activity under the code.

The City of Temple posted an ITB (BID240327) on June 18, 2026, seeking building materials with unit costs below $500 for multiple city departments, with proposals due July 14, 2026 and an estimated annual contract value of $50,000. The solicitation imposed a mandatory local-vendor requirement, limiting eligibility to bidders maintaining a physical storefront within City of Temple city limits or within a ten-mile radius thereof. Award was to be made in its entirety to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the deepest discount off retail percentages. Recent activity under this code remains limited to the municipalities represented in current solicitation records.
