NIGP 11026: Conveyor, Food Processing: Neoprene, Plastic, and Rubber

NIGP 11026 Conveyor, Food Processing: Neoprene, Plastic, and Rubber (Item) covers commercial kitchen equipment procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal. State and local buyers under this Item seek fixed percentage discounts on catalogs of food-service equipment — walk-in coolers, freezers, and related commercial kitchen apparatus — typically as multi-vendor contracts with firm pricing held across three-year base terms and optional renewals. School districts and county governments are the primary issuing bodies for this equipment class.

Recent activity centers on Florida, where the School Board of Seminole County issued an ITB (25260063BVG) in February 2026 for a three-year kitchen equipment catalog contract with an estimated annual volume of approximately $1.5 million across 58 listed manufacturers including Hobart, Vulcan, TRUE, Hatco, Cleveland, and Alto-Sham. Bidders were required to submit fixed percentage discounts off manufacturers' published price lists, provide authorized reseller letters, and carry $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate commercial general liability and product liability insurance. A voluntary pre-bid meeting occurred on January 13, 2026, with bid due January 28, 2026. Beyond this school-district opportunity, no other recent state or local solicitations under this code appear in the current opportunity stream.
