NIGP 04551: Mixers, Food (Household Types)

NIGP 04551 Mixers, Food (Household Types), an Item code, covers food-preparation equipment that state and local governments procure for operational use, though recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an Invitation to Bid (IB) in March 2026 for supplemental groceries including frozen pies, canned goods, beverages, and prepared items for delivery to county facilities—a procurement that reflects the broader scope of food-service contracting state and local agencies undertake, though the specific inclusion of household-type mixers in recent opportunities is not evident in available records. Issuing bodies across the code span county purchasing departments, state agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest based on recent filings, with Gwinnett County, Georgia and Washington-state-coordinated procurements representing visible recent demand. Beyond the Gwinnett County grocery supplemental contract (IB BL048-26, due May 6, 2026) and Sourcewell's cooperative law-enforcement-equipment RFP (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026), posted opportunities specifically naming household-type food mixers as line items do not appear in the recent-opportunities block, suggesting limited activity or episodic demand under this Item code. Businesses pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing platforms and county food-service contracts as the primary channels for visibility into state and local buying patterns.
