NIGP 04514: Blenders, Household

NIGP 04514 Blenders, Household (Item) encompasses small kitchen appliances that state and local governments procure for employee break rooms, training facilities, correctional institutions, and other operational spaces. The single recent opportunity in the source—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026—bundles household blenders within a broader law enforcement equipment solicitation, suggesting the code sees procurement primarily as part of larger, mixed-commodity purchasing initiatives rather than standalone appliance buys. Issuing bodies under this code typically include state cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell and subordinate county and municipal jurisdictions that participate in multi-entity frameworks; the Sourcewell RFP names Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County among participating entities, indicating county-level activity across multiple states.

Geographic concentration appears limited to the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota, where Sourcewell operates as a State of Minnesota local government unit serving jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 is the only recent opportunity identified, suggesting that household blenders either trade hands infrequently through formal procurement channels or move primarily through informal purchasing, bulk-commodity aggregators, or cooperative catalogs rather than dedicated solicitations. The cooperative purchasing structure—where Sourcewell establishes framework agreements for downstream use by participating entities—means that vendors winning contracts under this code gain access to a large pool of public entities but face consolidation pressures and standardized pricing typical of multi-jurisdictional cooperative vehicles.
