NIGP 40505: Charcoal

NIGP 40505 Charcoal, an Item code, covers fuel products purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this code reflects gasoline and diesel fuel procurement rather than charcoal specifically. Cobb County School District (Georgia) posted a fuel supply RFQ in September 2026 for gasoline and diesel delivery to distributed fueling infrastructure across the district, indicating that fuel procurement—particularly for fleet and facility operations—represents the primary buying pattern under this code at the state and local level. School districts and transportation-dependent public agencies drive demand for reliable fuel supply contracts with multi-site delivery requirements.

The geographic footprint of recent activity includes Georgia, where Cobb County School District's September 2026 solicitation (PE63310NONST2027000000224, due September 30, 2026) sought qualified vendors for gasoline and diesel fuel supply and delivery to multiple CCSD fueling locations. The solicitation was posted on the district's Euna Procurement Portal. Beyond this single recent opportunity, the source provides no additional state or regional activity data under this code, limiting visibility into broader geographic concentration or issuing-body patterns across state and local procurement.
