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 decorative and functional ceramic tableware and serving pieces, typically for use in institutional cafeterias, dining facilities, event spaces, and public buildings. The code covers dinnerware, bowls, platters, cups, saucers, and related earthenware or pottery items purchased through standard procurement channels. State and local issuing bodies—including school districts, state departments, counties, and municipalities—use this code when furnishing or replenishing dining and food-service inventory across institutional and administrative facilities.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the current market data for NIGP 96733. The absence of posted solicitations suggests either sporadic procurement activity under this code or a shift toward alternative sourcing methods such as cooperative purchasing agreements, blanket orders, or master purchasing contracts that may not generate discrete RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. Business development professionals should monitor state purchasing cooperative catalogs and institutional food-service procurement channels for standing agreements or framework contracts that may serve as entry points when direct solicitations do not materialize.
