NIGP 23290: Weaving Looms and Materials, Hand

NIGP 23290 Weaving Looms And Materials, Hand is an Item code covering hand weaving equipment and related materials for educational, recreational, and specialized textile production. State and local governments procure under this code to support after-school programs, community recreation divisions, senior centers, and special-population services where fiber arts and crafts instruction occur. The issuing bodies are typically municipal parks and recreation departments, school districts, and community service divisions that embed weaving supplies into broader arts-and-crafts procurement frameworks rather than sourcing them as standalone specialty items.

Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 in February 2026 to procure arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies—including hand weaving materials—for the Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed, multi-vendor basis. The solicitation, due February 25, 2026, targeted annual spending of $30,000 to $50,000 across the After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, Special Populations, and Recreation divisions. Vendors were required to maintain warehouse stock, ship within ten days of receipt, and provide pricing as discounted percentages off catalog rates with delivery and handling included. The contract term was two years with three optional one-year renewals. Recent state and local activity under this code remains limited; the Columbus opportunity represents primary visible procurement activity in the dataset, with no standout repeat buyers or geographic concentration evident.
