NIGP 24023: Condiment Shakers, Dispensers, Covers, etc.

NIGP 24023 Condiment Shakers, Dispensers, Covers, Etc., Item code, covers condiments and seasoning dispensers that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service operations. The code appears primarily in school district food-service solicitations, where condiment items are bundled with grocery procurement for breakfast and lunch programs subject to National School Lunch Program standards and Buy American provisions. The recent activity shows condiments being sourced as part of larger grocery contracts rather than as standalone line items; the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid to the Bridgeport Board of Education included condiments and seasonings across more than 1,100 line items alongside breakfast cereals, frozen goods, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and meat products. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and their municipal purchasing departments sourcing food for cafeteria operations, with compliance requirements including Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, product-label nutritional information, whole-grain specifications, and nut-free formulations. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability and products liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, accept orders through school-district food-service management systems, and deliver on standard pallets with prepaid freight Monday through Friday to central warehouses and school sites.

The geographic reach is concentrated in the Northeast, with the most recent solicitation activity from Connecticut. The City of Bridgeport's grocery procurement for the Bridgeport Board of Education (Solicitation BNB052266, electronic IFB due June 30, 2026) represents the primary opportunity under this code. Blind testing and laboratory technician evaluation of condiment products (seasoning, color, texture, taste, and specification compliance) is required at vendor expense. Contract terms run for one year with the Board retaining sole discretion to extend for an additional year; pricing is firm fixed with no freight or fuel surcharges permitted, and payment terms are Net 45 Days. Vendors must submit USDA compliance statements, complete nutritional analyses with product labels, ingredient panels, state health inspection records from the prior two years, three professional references with capability statements, and conflicts-of-interest forms; questions were due by June 15, 2026.
