NIGP 23335: Glass Blowing Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 23335 Glass Blowing Equipment and Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure materials and tools for glass-blowing instruction and recreational craft programs. The single recent opportunity in the dataset shows municipal procurement of arts and craft supplies in support of community recreation programming, including glass-working materials as part of a broader hobby and recreational supplies contract. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal governments and their recreation departments, purchasing on an as-needed basis through multi-vendor annual agreements.

Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, with responses due February 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM Eastern Time. The solicitation sought arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies—including glass-blowing equipment and materials—to support the Department of Parks and Recreation's After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, Special Populations, and Recreation divisions, with annual purchasing volume estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 across all divisions. The contract awarded to multiple vendors carries a two-year base term with three optional one-year renewals. Vendors were required to maintain warehouse stock, ship within ten days of order receipt, and provide pricing as discounts from catalog websites with all delivery and handling included in the quoted discount percentage. The city reserved the right to make purchases through comparable cooperative contracts if costs were lower, signaling a non-exclusive award approach. Minimal recent activity data supports this code; the Columbus procurement represents the primary documented opportunity under NIGP 23335 in the current dataset.
