NIGP 05067: Racks, Drying (Portable and Stationary)

NIGP 05067 Racks, Drying (Portable And Stationary), an Item code, addresses art supplies and equipment procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitation activity shows the code casting a wider net than drying racks alone. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas; Marion County School Board in Florida), municipal parks and recreation departments (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia), and community college systems. The scope of work encompasses consumable art materials—brushes, paints, papers, markers, craft supplies, and miscellaneous supplies—acquired on as-needed or annual contract bases to support classroom instruction, after-school programming, community recreation, and institutional art galleries. School districts appear to dominate recent activity, with procurement spanning districtwide art supply replenishment and central warehouse stock management.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) issued IFB 2026096 on July 7, 2026, with sealed bids due July 30, 2026, for districtwide art supplies and equipment with shipping included to San Antonio.
