NIGP 05087: Stained Glass Supplies

NIGP 05087 Stained Glass Supplies, an Item code, encompasses art supplies and craft materials that state and local governments procure for educational programs, recreational activities, and community services. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures broad categories of arts and crafts supplies — including stained glass materials alongside general art supplies, hobby items, and recreational materials — purchased on either a districtwide basis or departmental as-needed basis. School districts and municipal recreation departments drive demand under this code, soliciting through sealed-bid IFBs and requests for bids (RFBs) to supply classroom art programs, after-school initiatives, community centers, and senior services.

Recent activity spans Texas and Georgia. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued IFB 2026096 on July 7, 2026, seeking art supplies and equipment districtwide with bids due July 30, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all current vendors to respond to maintain business eligibility. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, to supply arts and craft materials for the Department of Parks and Recreation across multiple divisions — After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, and Special Populations — with an annual purchasing volume of $30,000 to $50,000 and a two-year contract term with three optional renewal periods. The Columbus solicitation required vendors to maintain warehouse stock, ship within ten days of receipt, and submit pricing as discounted percentages from catalog prices with all delivery and handling included.
