NIGP 24007: Aluminum Ware: Cooking Utensils, Dishes, Trays, Pots and Pans, etc.

NIGP 24007 Aluminum Ware: Cooking Utensils, Dishes, Trays, Pots And Pans, Etc., is an Item code under which state and local governments procure small kitchen equipment and dining supplies for school cafeterias, county kitchens, and department food-service operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity centered on mixing bowls, cooking pans and stock pots, serving equipment such as steam table and hotel pans, food storage containers, melamine dishes, glassware, kitchen utensils, and smallwares catalogs offering volume discounts. Issuing bodies include county governments and independent school districts; Columbia County School District in Georgia and Gwinnett County in Georgia both posted solicitations in recent months. School districts appear to be repeat buyers for cafeteria equipment outfitting, particularly when opening or restocking a food-service location, while county governments solicit miscellaneous kitchen supplies for multi-departmental use.

Georgia dominates recent activity on the code. Columbia County School District posted an RFQ for kitchen equipment for Lakeside High School with quotes due September 28, 2026, specifying 190 line items including frying pans and stock pots ranging from 8 to 40 quarts, mixing bowls in 5 to 30 quart capacities, serving pans, dishwasher racks, and plates, with preferred brands named (Vollrath, Cambro, Winco, Carlisle, Rubbermaid, Dexter Russell) and approved equals permitted. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a smallwares catalog discount contract (B-2714AM) with responses due October 16, 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida solicited miscellaneous kitchen supplies for various departments with a proposal due date of July 8, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 with proposals due June 16, 2026, representing a multi-state initiative across Washington, Minnesota, and participating jurisdictions nationwide, though the scope of that opportunity does not align closely with this NIGP code's core commodity profile.
