NIGP 04506: Appliances, Small, Electric (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 04506 Appliances, Small, Electric (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure audiovisual equipment, sound systems, projectors, and related installation services for conference rooms, gymnasiums, classrooms, and event spaces, along with general-purpose appliances for residential facilities. The code captures both turnkey AV system design-build-integrate-and-commission work and supply-and-delivery of appliances for housing and educational properties. Issuing bodies span state agencies, county and city procurement offices, school districts, housing authorities, metropolitan planning organizations, and public universities. The scope ranges from comprehensive AV infrastructure projects involving displays, control systems, cameras, audio processors, and three-year maintenance contracts to straightforward appliance supply for multifamily residential renovation.

Recent activity shows Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization soliciting AV solutions for collaboration spaces under RFQ (response due November 4, 2026); the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services procuring turnkey conference-room AV systems under a restricted master-contract vehicle with a June 19, 2026 due date; and Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority requesting appliance supply and delivery for Sykes Midrise Apartments (response due September 24, 2026). The City of Springfield, Massachusetts posted a $250,000 classroom sound-enhancement and intercom system project at Sumner Avenue Elementary School under sealed-bid procurement (due June 10, 2026). Geographic spread includes Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with repeat activity in education, government facilities, and municipal infrastructure. The code sees consistent but narrow-gauge posting activity, with most opportunities falling into either specialized AV design-build engagements or commodity appliance supply, rather than high-volume commodity purchasing.
