NIGP 04551: Mixers, Food (Household Types)

NIGP 04551 Mixers, Food (Household Types) is an Item code that captures commercial and institutional food-preparation equipment state and local governments procure for food-service and nutrition programs, cafeterias, and community food-access initiatives. The recent opportunity record shows limited direct procurement activity under this specific code in the past six months; the City of Cincinnati's Healthy Food Access Mobile Market Program RFI (posted September 30, 2026, due October 23, 2026) represents the most relevant recent signal, though it is a request for information rather than a direct equipment solicitation. That RFI signals municipal interest in mobile market operations and food-distribution infrastructure as part of broader healthy food access strategy, which may generate downstream procurement for food-handling and preparation equipment including mixers. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city procurement offices and special-purpose districts managing nutrition and food-service operations; school districts, county health departments, and transit authorities with food-service components also buy under related codes in this family.

Geographic activity appears scattered across urban and county jurisdictions with active community nutrition or food-access programs. The Cincinnati RFI and the Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing vehicle (which serves thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, with recent law-enforcement equipment activity centered on Washington state counties and Minnesota) indicate no concentrated regional pattern specific to household-type food mixers in recent months. State and local procurement officers should monitor the Cincinnati mobile-market initiative for downstream specifications and equipment solicitations, and track school district capital-equipment cycles and county health department food-service modernization programs as the most likely near-term demand drivers for this code. Direct RFP or IFB activity under NIGP 04551 appears minimal in the current quarter.
