NIGP 04522 Cookware and Bakeware, Household (Not Otherwise Listed) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure small kitchen equipment and food-service cookware for institutional use. The scope includes pots, pans, baking sheets, and related utensils for cafeterias, break rooms, training facilities, and operational kitchens across government agencies. Issuing bodies typically include state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose districts; these jurisdictions source cookware both through spot purchases and cooperative purchasing arrangements.

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) as a law enforcement equipment procurement on behalf of participating entities in Washington state (including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County) and other jurisdictions nationwide. While the primary solicitation framing addresses law enforcement equipment, the cooperative structure creates demand across multiple commodity lines, including general supplies and equipment for public facilities where cookware and food-service items are procured. Proposals were submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; the resulting contract(s) will be available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. No specific award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information was disclosed in available documentation.
