NIGP 23320: Ceramic and Pottery Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 23320 Ceramic and Pottery Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, covers clay, glazes, colorants, kilns, pottery wheels, kiln furniture, and related maintenance and repair services that state and local governments procure to support community recreation and education pottery programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing supplies on recurring cycles, equipment and replacement parts on replacement or expansion schedules, and bundled maintenance services from vendors capable of supporting multiple kilns and wheels at individual facilities or across district networks.

Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county recreation facilities, independent school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Orlando, Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation, and the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department each solicited pottery supplies and equipment in the past four months. Activity spans Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando's IFB 27-0025 (due November 5, 2026) for sixty-two line items of pottery supplies supporting a pottery studio with twenty electric wheels and nine electric kilns, with a one-year term and four renewal options; Gwinnett County's RFQ IWQ 137154 (due September 10, 2026) for four Laguna Pacifica pottery wheels; Gwinnett County's RFQ IWQ 137725 (due September 25, 2026) for two L&L Easy-Fire e28T-3 electric kilns; and Fort Bend Independent School District's RFP 27004KB (due September 25, 2026) for district-wide art supplies, equipment, replacement parts, and maintenance services. Orlando's contract applies a Veteran Business Enterprise preference and considers Small and Local Business Enterprise participation.
