NIGP 74032: Dry Ice Making Machines

NIGP 74032 Dry Ice Making Machines is an Item code capturing equipment and machinery that state and local governments procure for specialized cooling, preservation, and operational applications, though recent posting activity under this code is minimal and does not directly reflect typical dry ice equipment procurement. The source material identifies a single recent opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—which targets law enforcement equipment broadly through a cooperative purchasing vehicle rather than dry ice machines specifically. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued this RFP on behalf of participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The resulting contract structure is intended to serve governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities through a participating addendum model, though the solicitation does not itemize specific equipment categories, budget ranges, or set-aside designations within the available documentation.

The cooperative purchasing framework through Sourcewell suggests potential activity across multiple states, but the source provides no direct evidence of dry ice machine procurement by individual state departments, counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities. Vendors responding to RFP #061626 must submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by 3:30 p.m. Central Time on June 16, 2026, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The sparse and indirect nature of recent posting activity under this code suggests limited near-term pursuit opportunity unless your firm has existing relationships with Sourcewell or targeted customers among the named participating counties and jurisdictions.
