NIGP 16064 Slicers, Heavy Duty, Electric (Item) covers commercial-grade food slicing equipment that state and local governments purchase primarily for school foodservice operations, institutional kitchens, and culinary training programs. The code captures electric slicers used in high-volume food preparation environments where durability and safety are critical — equipment specifications typically include blade guards, emergency stops, and heavy-duty construction suitable for daily institutional use.

Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted an RFP (#26-101) on April 17, 2026 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources, with a June 5, 2026 response deadline. While the RFP encompasses a broad range of CTE and advanced-academics categories including culinary and hospitality programs where heavy-duty slicers would be procured, the posted summary does not isolate equipment specifications or budget allocation by category. The district evaluates proposals on best value, including purchase price, vendor reputation, quality, past relationship, and total long-term cost, and actively encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE vendor participation. The source provides no other recent state or local opportunities under this code, and activity appears limited within the posted record.
