NIGP 57814: Boxes, Suggestion Type

NIGP 57814 Boxes, Suggestion Type is an Item code that captures a narrow product category within state and local procurement, though the recent opportunities block does not contain solicitations for suggestion boxes themselves. The two most recent opportunities posted under or near this taxonomy—a City of DeBary, Florida irrigation system improvement project (Bid 0315, posted October 19, 2026) and a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (#061626, posted May 12, 2026)—diverge significantly from the NIGP title and suggest either category-mapping variance in the source system or that this Item code sees minimal recent solicitation activity. The DeBary project involved construction-grade irrigation infrastructure (Hunter controller systems, master valves, flow meters, piping) with an engineer's estimate of $90,000 and a 45-calendar-day completion window; the Sourcewell RFP established a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide. Neither opportunity aligns with traditional suggestion-box procurement, indicating that this Item code may not reflect the primary purchasing behavior of state and local governments in the current market.

Geographic activity is limited to the records present: Florida (City of DeBary) and Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties). The issuing-body mix includes a municipal city government and a state-level cooperative purchasing entity. Without additional recent opportunities posted under NIGP 57814 proper, the code appears to see sparse solicitation activity. Pursuit decisions should rest on direct market intelligence about state and local procurement offices' actual spending patterns under this category rather than on the limited posted records available.
