NIGP 09016: Dough Mixers

NIGP 09016 Dough Mixers is an Item code covering commercial dough-mixing equipment and related large food service machinery that state and local governments procure for school nutrition operations, cafeteria facilities, and institutional food preparation. State and local solicitations under this code reflect purchases of heavy commercial kitchen equipment, including dough mixers, that must meet USDA performance standards and federal Buy American requirements when federally funded. Issuing bodies include school districts and state departments of education overseeing nutrition services, with school districts serving as the primary procurement driver for equipment delivery to individual school sites across their jurisdictions.

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida posted ITB 26147-ITB-DST in September 2026, soliciting firm fixed-price bids for large food service equipment delivery to multiple school nutrition facilities under USDA Food and Nutrition Service funding, with a final Notice of Intent to Award issued June 30, 2026. The solicitation required compliance with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage standards for contracts exceeding $100,000, USDA debarment and drug-free workplace certifications, Florida background check requirements for contractor employees, and Net 45 payment terms under Florida's Prompt Payment Act. Four addenda between May and late May 2026 modified specifications and delivery requirements; pre-screening evaluation preceded formal bid submission. HCPS reserves inspection rights and termination authority with 30 days' notice, holding contractors liable for price differences if performance defaults trigger sourcing from alternate vendors.
