NIGP 04572: Storage Baskets, Metal and Plastic (for Freezers)

NIGP 04572 Storage Baskets, Metal and Plastic (For Freezers), an Item code, encompasses metal and plastic storage baskets designed for freezer applications that state and local governments procure as part of equipment and facility operations. The code sees solicitation activity primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional procurement frameworks rather than individual agency RFQs or ITBs. Issuing bodies include state-level cooperative purchasing units such as Sourcewell (Minnesota), along with participating county governments, municipalities, school districts, and other public entities that leverage framework agreements to standardize equipment procurement across their networks.

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation encompasses participating jurisdictions including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, with the procurement mechanism structured to allow flexibility in how the established contracting solution is deployed across participating entities through subsequent participating addenda. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The available documentation does not identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, or specific award values.
