NIGP 23205: Basketry Materials

NIGP 23205 Basketry Materials is an Item code under which state and local governments procure craft and recreational supplies, including basketry and woven materials, for parks departments, community centers, schools, and senior programs. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued RFB No. 26-0014 in February 2026 seeking arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to support after-school programs, community schools, seniors, and special populations divisions, with annual purchasing volume estimated between $30,000 and $50,000. Vendors responding to such solicitations must maintain adequate warehouse stock, ship orders within ten days of receipt, and provide pricing based on discounted catalog prices with all delivery and handling charges included in the quoted discount.

The code sees activity from city parks departments and related municipal divisions purchasing on an as-needed basis under multi-year contracts with renewal options. Columbus Consolidated Government's February 2026 solicitation, issued via DemandStar with a response deadline of February 25, 2026, sought award to multiple vendors under a two-year initial term with three optional renewal periods. The contract structure reserves the right to purchase through comparable cooperative agreements if costs are lower, indicating a non-exclusive award strategy typical of commodity supply contracts for municipal recreation programs. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source material.
