NIGP 16575: Recycled Cafeteria and Kitchen Accessories and Supplies

NIGP 16575 Recycled Cafeteria and Kitchen Accessories and Supplies, an Item code, covers disposable foodservice consumables, small equipment, and repair parts that school districts, county education systems, and municipal facilities procure to support cafeteria and kitchen operations. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code encompasses food trays and containers, disposable cutlery, cups and lids, food storage supplies, napkins and towels, cleaning supplies, safety equipment, small kitchen implements such as baking pans and mixing bowls, appliance repair parts for commercial food-service equipment, and cafeteria smallwares delivered on an as-needed or standing-order basis. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from Northside Independent School District (Texas), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Pinellas County School District (Florida), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). Municipal and county departments appear less frequently; the City of College Park, Georgia recently solicited kitchen renovation services that included cabinetry and fixtures, and Fulton County Schools (Georgia) solicited large food equipment. Most procurements are subject to Buy American provisions, USDA civil rights certifications, and federal school nutrition program compliance requirements.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary presence in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) issuing IFB 2026078 on May 5, 2026 for kitchen equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services across 132 schools, with bids due May 28, 2026 through the Bonfire portal and contract renewal options extending through three years; Dougherty County Board of Education (Albany, Georgia) issuing two separate IFBs in April–May 2026 for small equipment (89 line items, bids due May 28, 2026) and cafeteria supplies (90 line items, bids due May 12, 2026); Henry County Schools (Georgia) issuing IFB 2026-100100-0318 on March 18, 2026 for cafeteria smallwares to 52 school nutrition locations, with bids due May 5, 2026 and weekly delivery requirements; and Pinellas County School District (Largo, Florida) soliciting appliance repair parts and supplies (IFB 26JG010, April 6, 2026, bids due April 22, 2026) with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $300,000. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued RFP 25533RFPDST in January 2026 for paper products delivery to 219 school sites with a estimated annual budget of $193,221 and bids due February 27, 2026, reflecting the scale and coordination typical of large multi-site school nutrition contracts.
