NIGP 23275: Recycled Crafts (General)

NIGP 23275 Recycled Crafts (General), an Item code, covers arts and craft supplies, hobby materials, and recreational products that state and local governments procure for departmental use, community programs, and public recreation activities. The code encompasses items sourced from or incorporating recycled or repurposed materials, supplied on an as-needed basis through standing vendor agreements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal governments operating parks and recreation departments, with Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia representing a recent active buyer. The scope of work reflects procurement supporting after-school programs, community centers, senior services, special-population activities, and public recreation divisions that bundle purchasing across multiple internal customer groups.

Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 in February 2026, seeking arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for the Department of Parks and Recreation on an annual contract basis with two-year initial term and three one-year renewal options. The solicitation, posted February 4, 2026 with a bid-opening date of February 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM Eastern Time, indicated annual purchasing volume of $30,000 to $50,000 across participating divisions and required vendors to maintain warehouse inventory, ship within ten days of order receipt, and provide pricing as discounted percentages off published catalog prices with all delivery and handling included. The city reserved the right to award to multiple vendors and to supplement purchases through comparable cooperative contracts if lower-cost alternatives became available, indicating a non-exclusive award strategy typical of municipal recreation procurement.
