NIGP 16072: Stuffers, Meat, Heavy Duty, Electric

NIGP 16072 Stuffers, Meat, Heavy Duty, Electric is an Item code that addresses heavy-duty electric meat-processing equipment used in food service and institutional food production. State and local procurement under this code reflects demand for commercial-grade stuffing and processing machinery from school districts, county facilities, municipal dining operations, and correctional institutions that operate centralized food services. Equipment purchased under this code typically supports high-volume meat processing, including sausage production, ground meat preparation, and related protein processing tasks in institutional kitchens and food service operations. The issuing-body mix includes school districts as primary buyers, with additional procurement from county and municipal food service departments, correctional facilities, and specialized food production vendors serving state and local agencies.

Recent opportunities under this code remain limited in the available record. One recent procurement of note is Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD) in Harris County, Texas, which issued RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources posted April 17, 2026, with a response deadline of June 5, 2026. While this solicitation encompasses multiple instructional categories and equipment types rather than meat-processing equipment specifically, it demonstrates the school-district procurement ecosystem and the breadth of equipment and instructional support that district food service and career and technical education programs may source. No additional meat-processing or heavy-duty stuffer solicitations appear in the recent opportunity record, suggesting limited current activity under this specific Item code or concentration of such purchases through cooperative purchasing vehicles, state term contracts, or local standing orders rather than open competitive solicitation.
