NIGP 16591: Toasters, Electric and Gas

NIGP 16591 Toasters, Electric and Gas is an Item code encompassing commercial food service toasting equipment procured by state and local educational institutions. State and local governments under this code are acquiring large-scale food service equipment—including commercial toasters and related warming and preparation apparatus—for installation in school nutrition facilities. The work involves firm fixed-price delivery, installation, and warranty support across multiple school sites, with bidders responsible for compliance with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage standards where applicable, USDA debarment and drug-free workplace certifications, and state-level background check requirements for on-site personnel. School districts serve as the primary issuing bodies, with state departments of education providing administrative oversight.

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida issued ITB 26147-ITB-DST for large food equipment student nutrition services, with the original proposal due date of May 26, 2026 superseded by a Notice of Intent to Award posted June 30, 2026. The solicitation covered large commercial food service equipment delivery and installation to multiple school nutrition facilities across Florida under firm fixed pricing with no escalation provisions. Four addenda modified specifications and bid submission procedures between May 4 and May 21, 2026, and a pre-screening evaluation assessed vendor qualifications prior to formal bid evaluation. The contract is federally funded through USDA's Food and Nutrition Service under the National School Lunch Act, requiring bidders to meet mandatory federal compliance certifications and Florida's Prompt Payment Act terms of Net 45 days from delivery or invoice receipt.
