NIGP 10004: Baskets, All Types (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 10004 Baskets, All Types (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code covering containerization and storage products—including recycling bins, collection carts, and general-purpose baskets—that state and local governments procure for facility operations, waste management, and public services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring multi-size recycling containers (14- to 96-gallon configurations), parts and supplies bins for facilities maintenance, and related containment products through both individual jurisdictions and cooperative purchasing councils. Issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, county project and facilities management offices, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing entities serving municipal members. The code sees activity from general-purpose county governments and infrastructure-focused county departments, with cooperative purchasing councils like the Capitol Region Purchasing Council in Connecticut aggregating demand across member municipalities to leverage volume pricing and standardized specifications.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Connecticut. The Capitol Region Purchasing Council solicited recycling bins on behalf of Hartford County and Connecticut municipalities in January 2026 (RFQ 791RECYCLINGBINS, due February 19, 2026) for a two-year contract period through February 2028 with a two-year extension option, requiring curbside bins with 25 percent post-consumer recycled content and roll-out carts manufactured from 100 percent virgin resin, with fixed net pricing and delivery within one week to 90 days depending on bin size. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 6391, due June 19, 2026) for parts and supplies spanning over 500 line items including bins, fixtures, chemicals, and maintenance materials, with a tentative contract start of July 1, 2026 and a 5 percent local vendor preference for San Bernardino County–based suppliers. The code does not presently support high-volume activity; recent solicitations center on occasional multi-year municipal contracts and county maintenance supply buys.
