NIGP 04522: Cookware and Bakeware, Household (Not Otherwise Listed)

NIGP 04522 Cookware and Bakeware, Household (Not Otherwise Listed) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure cookware, bakeware, and related food-preparation vessels for institutional and departmental use. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects demand from law enforcement and public safety agencies acquiring equipment bundles that include support items and supplies alongside primary equipment categories. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span counties, special-purpose districts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and participating public entities coordinated through state-level cooperative frameworks. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, drives activity by aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types—counties, school districts, higher education institutions, and tribal governments—into consolidated procurements that establish master contracting solutions available to thousands of public sector organizations across the United States and Canada.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026, soliciting vendors to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities in Washington state (Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County) and beyond. Submission occurs exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; inquiries are directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The cooperative purchasing structure allows selected vendors to serve a broad public sector customer base while maintaining standardized contracting terms through Sourcewell's framework agreement, with resulting contracts reserved for future utilization through participating addenda.
