NIGP 04525: Dishes, Drinking Utensils, and Servingware (Household)

NIGP 04525 Dishes, Drinking Utensils, and Servingware (Household) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure tableware, glassware, and food-service utensils for institutional use. The source contains no recent state or local solicitations specifically targeting this commodity code. The single recent opportunity posted to the procurement tracking system—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026—addresses law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, not household servingware.

Without active recent solicitations under NIGP 04525, no issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative purchasing patterns can be characterized from current market activity. Entities seeking to pursue this code should monitor state purchasing portals and cooperative vehicle announcements for emerging institutional food-service or cafeteria-supply solicitations from school districts, colleges, county facilities, and state agencies, which historically represent the primary buyers in this commodity class.
