NIGP 16510: Can Openers and Knife Sharpeners, Electric

NIGP 16510 Can Openers and Knife Sharpeners, Electric is an Item code that encompasses electric cutting, food preparation, and smallwares equipment procured by state and local school districts for cafeteria and kitchen operations. State and local governments buy electric can openers, knife sharpeners, and related kitchen smallwares as part of broader food service equipment and supplies purchasing, typically bundled with commercial appliances, cookware, and kitchen maintenance items rather than as standalone purchases. School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity under this code, procuring these items to support nutrition programs across multiple campuses and cafeteria locations.
