NIGP 24530: Milk Bottle Caps, Metallic and Paper

NIGP 24530 Milk Bottle Caps, Metallic And Paper is an Item code covering milk and dairy product packaging supplies—specifically closures and caps for milk containers in commercial and institutional food service. State and local governments procure these supplies primarily through school districts and other institutional dining operations that serve large student populations and require compliant, high-volume packaging for milk distribution. The purchasing pattern reflects commodity procurement tied to food-service contracts; milk bottle caps are typically bundled with or specified as part of broader milk and dairy product solicitations rather than procured as standalone items, reflecting their role as integral components of milk delivery systems in institutional settings.

School districts represent the dominant issuing body under this code, with recent activity concentrated in Florida. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, issued Invitation to Bid 25260070B-VG in April 2026 to supply Milk & Dairy Products to the Red Apple Dining Department and School Culinary Programs across 56 school locations, with a response deadline of April 2, 2026. The solicitation encompassed 15 line items spanning multiple milk formats—8 oz cartons, 1-gallon containers, 5-gallon containers, and twist-cap formats in white, whole, and chocolate varieties—with annual usage estimates ranging from 30 to approximately 3.17 million units depending on format. The contract awards on an all-or-none, by-lot, by-partial-lot, or by-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with an initial two-year term and optional two-year renewal. All products must meet Federal and State regulations including National School Lunch Program Buy American provisions and Florida Department of Health standards, with deliveries twice weekly FOB inside delivery to the county.
