NIGP 96785: Tool Manufacturing Services

NIGP 96785 Tool Manufacturing Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure manufacturing, repair, and customization services for specialized equipment and tools used across law enforcement, public works, utilities, and emergency services. The code captures both bespoke tool fabrication and modification services tailored to agency specifications, as well as specialized equipment assembly and finishing work. Issuing bodies under this code include state departments, counties, cities, special-purpose districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell. The work solicited ranges from one-off custom fabrications to framework agreements that establish multi-year standing availability across dozens of jurisdictions and entity types, including K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations participating in cooperative agreements.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing unit, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 seeking proposals for Law Enforcement Equipment, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. The solicitation encompasses participation from Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and extends nationally and into Canada, with the resulting contract reserved for use by Sourcewell's Participating Entities through a framework addendum structure. Submissions are required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no specific award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in available materials. The geographic activity shown reflects recent solicitation primarily in the Pacific Northwest and through multi-state cooperative vehicles, though the cooperative framework is designed to serve jurisdictions across the United States and Canada.
