NIGP 09040: Dough Trucks

NIGP 09040 Dough Trucks, an Item code, encompasses refrigerated box trucks and similar specialized food-service vehicles that state and local governments procure to support cafeteria operations, food distribution, and meal programs across school districts and other public entities. The work involves sourcing new or replacement refrigerated vehicles equipped with engineered insulation, microprocessor-controlled refrigeration units capable of maintaining frozen or chilled temperatures, cargo management systems, and liftgates designed to handle regular loading and unloading cycles at multiple distribution points.

School districts represent the primary issuing body under this code. The Griffin-Spalding County School System in Georgia posted IFB #27-102 on June 24, 2026, seeking one new refrigerated box truck with a sealed-bid response deadline of July 23, 2026, to support food distribution across twenty-one cafeteria sites. The vehicle specifications call for a 2026 model year, diesel or gas engine (220–260 HP minimum), 14–26 foot refrigerated box with high-density spray foam insulation (3–5 inches minimum), seamless fiberglass or food-grade aluminum interior, anti-skid flooring, and a liftgate capable of 2,500–3,000 lb capacity. Vendors must provide firm pricing across line items for chassis, refrigerated body, refrigeration unit, liftgate, installation, and delivery; disclose three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty terms and five-year preventive maintenance cost schedules; document local service capabilities and expected repair response times; and commit to delivery within 180 days of order.
