NIGP 16592: Vending Machines, Non-Refrigerated (Snacks, Laundry Items, Candy, Cigarettes, etc.)

NIGP 16592 Vending Machines, Non-Refrigerated (Snacks, Laundry Items, Candy, Cigarettes, Etc.), Item code, represents state and local procurement for the supply, installation, operation, and maintenance of vending machines dispensing snacks, beverages, candy, and related items across government facilities, with activity concentrated across Texas, California, and Florida driven by airport concessions, correctional facilities, county and municipal offices, and school districts.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span counties (Collin County, Escambia County, and Wake County), cities (McKinney, Hayward, Cincinnati, Doral, Olathe, Parker), independent school districts (Katy ISD, Marion County Schools), state departments (Texas Workforce Commission, California Department of Rehabilitation, Florida Department of Transportation), and special-purpose districts (airport authorities, sheriffs' offices). California Department of Rehabilitation dominates recent activity with at least fifteen separate solicitations for vending equipment at correctional and service facilities, reflecting systemic procurement across the state prison system and roadside rest areas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202600180 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 27, 2026) seeking approximately 145 vending machines across eight locations in Abilene, Amarillo, Brownwood, Fort Stockton, Nacogdoches, San Antonio, Victoria, and Waco—with estimated contract values ranging from $5,773 to $451,309 depending on location and current commission rates varying from 5 to 27 percent by product category; Collin County's IFB 2026-325 (posted June 30, 2026, due August 6, 2026) for vending services across 18 county locations with an estimated annual contract value of $142,000 and evaluation based on highest commission percentage; and Katy Independent School District's RFP #2521SM (posted June 23, 2026, due July 2, 2026) for snack vending across 92 campuses with FY2025 sales of $466,000 and Smart Snacks compliance required at secondary schools. Geographic spread of recent activity is heaviest in California (particularly state-operated facilities), Texas (multiple county and municipal jurisdictions), and Florida (airports, counties, municipal departments), with additional activity in Georgia, Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Dakota reflecting dispersed but steady demand across the United States.
