About NIGP 96749
NIGP 96749 Metals and Metal Products (Item) covers the supply and recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, structural steel, reinforcing bar, aluminum products, and waste metal materials that state and local governments procure for capital projects, facilities maintenance, and waste diversion programs. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county utilities departments, municipal public works and procurement offices, and county waste management agencies. The scope of work spans materials supply for construction and maintenance (structural steel, rebar, aluminum, iron in various grades and dimensions), metals collection and recycling services from municipal facilities, and metal building system components and materials for equipment and maintenance structures. Solicitations require vendors to maintain adequate inventory or supplier relationships to meet routine and emergency delivery windows, hold relevant manufacturing certifications or supply agreements, and comply with prevailing wage and insurance requirements.
