NIGP 09080: Slicers, Bread

NIGP 09080 Slicers, Bread is an Item code under which state and local governments procure bread slicing equipment and related food-service machinery. Recent solicitation activity shows school districts and municipal purchasing offices sourcing this equipment as part of broader grocery and food-service procurement cycles that support meal programs operating under federal nutrition standards. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, solicited grocery items in June 2026 that encompassed bread and baked goods alongside over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat. While the Bridgeport opportunity does not isolate bread slicers as a distinct line item, it reflects the operational context in which this code functions — school food-service operations requiring equipment and supplies to meet the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and the National School Lunch Program compliance framework.

Activity under NIGP 09080 appears limited in recent state and local posting records. The Bridgeport Board of Education contract (BNB052266), posted June 30, 2026, with term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, demonstrates school district engagement in food-service procurement but does not surface as a dedicated bread-slicer equipment solicitation. Pricing submission was firm fixed with Net 45 payment terms, and vendors were required to maintain $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability and products liability insurance. No other recent opportunities in the source block isolate bread slicers as a primary procurement focus. Connecticut shows recent activity, but geographic spread and issuing-body concentration cannot be reliably characterized from this single opportunity.
