NIGP 23215: Candle Making Equipment and Supplies (see 393-56 for Candles)

NIGP 23215 Candle Making Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses the materials, tools, and components state and local governments procure to manufacture or assemble candles in-house, or to support vocational and educational programs in candle production. The code covers wicks, molds, fragrance oils, waxes, dyes, pouring equipment, and related supplies used in institutional candle-making operations — distinct from finished candles themselves, which fall under NIGP 39356. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (particularly vocational and technical education programs), corrections departments (for inmate work programs), parks and recreation departments, and occasionally city or county facilities management offices operating craft workshops or therapeutic programs.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities solicited under NIGP 23215, precluding characterization of current geographic activity, repeat issuing bodies, or representative recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. Without posted opportunities in the current dataset, visibility into this code's current market activity is limited.
