NIGP 24063: Kitchen Utensils, Small: Basters, Corers, Ladles, Pastry and Vegetable Brushes, Peelers, Scoops, Tongs, Turners, etc.

NIGP 24063 Kitchen Utensils, Small: Basters, Corers, Ladles, Pastry And Vegetable Brushes, Peelers, Scoops, Tongs, Turners, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure disposable and durable food-service smallwares—food storage containers, serving pans, sheet pans, measuring cups, scoops, spoodles, thermometers, pastry brushes, and related hand tools—primarily for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and municipal or county food operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems (Bartow County School System, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Baconton Community Charter School, Washington County School District), with material activity also from counties (Crisp County Georgia, Gwinnett County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida) and state-supported facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission Richmond State Supported Living Center). School nutrition represents the dominant purchasing segment, reflecting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support across multiple sites per district; catalog-discount and line-item procurement models both appear. Recent opportunities frame smallwares as part of broader food-service supply ecosystems that bundle items across NIGP 240 (Food Service Equipment and Supplies), including paper goods, cleaning products, and powered equipment.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Bartow County, Colquitt County, Crisp County, Gwinnett County, Baconton Community Charter School), with secondary presence in Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (HHSC Richmond facility, City of Edinburg CACFP program), Utah (Washington County School District), and Ohio (limited detail available). Representative recent opportunities include Colquitt County School Nutrition's SY26-27 School Nutrition Smallwares Bid (IFB issued May 14, 2026, bids due June 15, 2026), spanning 295 line items across steam table pans, food preparation tools, cutlery, storage containers, and equipment with delivery to multiple school sites; Bartow County School System's School Nutrition Program Paper Goods & Supplies IFB 2027-03 (posted August 3, 2026, bids due September 2, 2026), covering serving trays, containers, and disposables with firm pricing for October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027; and Baconton Community Charter School's smallware and small equipment bid (posted June 25, 2026, bids due July 20, 2026), listing thermometers, scoops, sheet pans, knives, pastry brushes, and small powered equipment for 2026-2027 school year. Catalog-discount structures appear in Crisp County and Gwinnett County smallwares solicitations (both posted October 2, 2026, due October 16, 2026), establishing pricing vehicles for consumables over a full calendar year. Vendors typically submit firm, fixed pricing on line-item quote sheets; responsiveness often requires bidders to price 80 percent or more of line items. Delivery is typically weekly or as-needed to multiple school sites, with federal compliance requirements including debarment verification, Buy American provisions for food products where applicable, and HACCP or food safety standards.
