NIGP 16530: Dispensers: Aluminum Foil, Plastic Wrap, Food Service Gloves, etc.

NIGP 16530 Dispensers: Aluminum Foil, Plastic Wrap, Food Service Gloves, Etc., an Item code, encompasses consumable food-service and janitorial supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for feeding programs, court operations, and emergency-response facilities. The code captures expendable items including aluminum foil, plastic wrap, food-service gloves, paper goods (plates, napkins, cups, utensils, lunch bags), food storage bags, and hair nets — supplies that support meal preparation, delivery, and sanitation in institutional food-service environments. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities buying these items bundled with broader operational-supply contracts for fire departments, school-district child-care feeding programs, and court food services. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city governments operating child and adult care food programs, and county courts. The work is straightforward commodity procurement: vendors bid on lists of consumable items, pricing is evaluated alongside delivery capability and compliance with health and safety standards, and contracts typically run one year with as-needed ordering and no guaranteed minimum purchases.

Texas jurisdictions leverage local-vendor preferences under state statute, and Georgia applies disadvantaged-business-enterprise set-asides where applicable. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida; these solicitations reflect routine county and municipal consumption of food-service supplies and operational consumables across geographic regions.
