UNSPSC 23151609 Glass blowing instrument is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice covers arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies purchased on an as-needed basis for municipal parks and recreation departments, community programs, and after-school activities. The scope encompasses a broad range of supplies supporting educational, recreational, and community programming rather than specialized glasswork equipment. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal consolidated governments and their parks and recreation divisions, which procure supplies in bulk or through annual agreements with multiple vendors to serve multiple internal customer divisions.

Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, requesting bids for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to support the Department of Parks and Recreation's After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, Special Populations, and Recreation divisions on an as-needed basis under a two-year term with three optional one-year renewals. The bid response deadline was February 25, 2026, at 2:30 PM Eastern Time, with virtual bid opening and award to multiple vendors anticipated. Annual purchasing volume under this contract is projected at $30,000 to $50,000. Vendors must maintain adequate warehouse stock, provide shipping within ten days of order receipt, and quote discounted pricing based on catalog availability, with all delivery and handling charges included in the discount percentage. This remains the only recent state and local opportunity identified under the code.
