NIGP 04546: Hot Plates and Burners, Gas or Electric (Household)

NIGP 04546 Hot Plates and Burners, Gas or Electric (Household), an Item code, covers cooking appliances and similar equipment that state and local governments procure for residential facilities, dormitories, training centers, and institutional housing. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring household-grade cooking equipment as part of broader facility provisioning and renovation projects rather than as standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies under this code include higher-education institutions and state university systems managing residential housing, reflecting the institutional appetite for standardized, durable cooking appliances suited to shared living environments.

Texas A&M University System posted an ITB (TAMUS-ITB-26-0537) on June 30, 2026 for Reed House appliances with a July 7, 2026 response deadline, requiring electronic submission through the AggieBid portal. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) issued May 12, 2026 on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state — and available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, and K-12 school districts nationwide — closed June 16, 2026 and encompassed law enforcement equipment procurement, though specific appliance line-item detail is not disclosed in the available summary. Activity under this code appears limited to discrete institutional housing upgrades and cooperative purchasing frameworks rather than high-volume commodity procurement.
