NIGP 04514: Blenders, Household

NIGP 04514 Blenders, Household is an Item code that captures small electric blending equipment purchased by state and local governments, typically as part of larger institutional procurement initiatives rather than as standalone commodity buys. State and local agencies source household blenders primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and framework agreements that bundle equipment across multiple product categories and jurisdictions. The issuing bodies are predominantly county governments, state cooperative purchasing units, and special-purpose districts that leverage collective buying power to establish standardized contracting terms for equipment procurement across participating entities.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 to establish a Law Enforcement Equipment contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The procurement encompasses multiple Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties, with submissions required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. This cooperative purchasing structure allows vendors to expand market reach across a broad spectrum of public sector organizations while maintaining standardized contracting terms through Sourcewell's framework agreement, though no specific award values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendors are identified in available solicitation materials.
