NIGP 99283: Textile Testing Services

NIGP 99283 Textile Testing Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure laboratory analysis and certification of fiber, fabric, and finished textile products — including fiber identification, strength and durability testing, colorfastness evaluation, and compliance verification against industry standards and regulatory requirements. The code sees activity from state procurement offices, county facilities and purchasing departments, city public works and utility departments, school districts (particularly those managing uniform or athletic-wear contracts), and independent special-purpose districts. Testing services typically support material qualification for construction textiles, industrial fabrics, institutional apparel, and capital-equipment upholstery, and ensure compliance with federal performance standards (such as NFPA flammability grades) and ASTM International specifications.
