NIGP 24502: Butter Machines, Churns, and Equipment

NIGP 24502 Butter Machines, Churns, and Equipment is an Item code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses instructional equipment and specialized machinery for Career and Technical Education (CTE) programming in school districts. The scope extends to equipment supporting multiple CTE disciplines including agricultural science, manufacturing and robotics, welding, hospitality, and related technical trades, alongside delivery, installation, implementation, maintenance, and support services. State and local buying under this code comes from independent school districts pursuing vocational and technical education resources; Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas exemplifies the issuing-body profile, soliciting equipment and instructional resources across 17 distinct CTE program areas as part of broader Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics procurement.

Klein ISD issued RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026, with a June 5, 2026 response deadline, seeking qualified vendors to supply and support CTE and Advanced Academics resources across multiple instructional categories. The solicitation permits vendors to submit proposals for one or more categories, with the district reserving the right to award contracts by category in whole or in part to multiple vendors. Evaluation is based on best value including purchase price, vendor reputation, quality, past relationship with the district, total long-term cost, and compliance with HUB, MWBE, and SBE designations, though Klein ISD does not implement formal set-asides. The contract is structured as firm fixed-price with an initial one-year term and four optional one-year renewals beginning September 1, 2026. All vendors must be licensed in Texas and Harris County, maintain $1,000,000 minimum general liability and workers' compensation coverage, provide three relevant references, and comply with background checks and OSHA standards; no overall budget or award-value ceiling was specified in the source.
