NIGP 23385: Recycled Crafts (Specialized)

NIGP 23385 Recycled Crafts (Specialized), an Item code, covers specialized craft supplies and materials for recreational and educational programming in state and local government settings. Recent procurement activity under this code reflects demand from parks and recreation departments for arts and craft supplies supporting community programs. 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 for its Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis, with annual purchasing estimated between $30,000 and $50,000. The solicitation targets vendors capable of maintaining adequate warehouse stock and fulfilling orders within ten days of receipt, with pricing based on discounted catalog rates and delivery included in quoted percentages. The contract structure anticipates multiple vendor awards on a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals, and the city reserves the right to purchase through comparable cooperative contracts if costs are lower.

Columbus, Georgia represents the identified recent activity under this code. The RFB closing date was February 25, 2026, with a virtual bid opening and Microsoft Teams attendance option. Responding vendors must submit bids electronically via DemandStar and provide federal compliance documentation, current business licenses, and proof of website catalog availability. No set-aside designations or vendor-type restrictions are noted in the available solicitation materials, and no incumbent vendors are identified. The sourcing approach favors multi-vendor awards and cost-competitive procurement flexibility through cooperative purchasing vehicles.
