NIGP 96733: China, Earthenware or Pottery Products

NIGP 96733 China, Earthenware Or Pottery Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure pottery supplies and materials for educational, recreational, and operational use. The City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department's recent RFQ No. 226100 exemplifies the scope: clay (including specialized formulations such as Bmix and Black Mountain), glaze supplies, colorants, Mason Stains, dry glazes, stroke and coat glazes, and maintenance services for kilns and pottery wheels across multiple recreation centers. State and local procurement under this code covers both consumable materials for active pottery programming and the ancillary services needed to sustain equipment used in arts and recreation settings.

The Tucson solicitation, posted June 28, 2022 with responses due July 13, 2022, represents the only recent state or local opportunity in the source. The City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department structured the procurement as an RFQ with a one-year initial term and four optional renewal periods, reserving the right to award by line item, group, or total scope based on best value. The solicitation does not indicate budget totals but the detailed pricing schedule signals a material annual commitment to sustained pottery programming. No geographic clustering or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the available record; no recent opportunities from other jurisdictions are present in the source.
