NIGP 26985: Supplements, with Vitamins

NIGP 26985 Supplements, With Vitamins is an Item code under which state and local governments procure vitamin and mineral supplement products, typically in bulk quantities for distribution through public health programs, correctional facilities, school nutrition initiatives, and social service agencies. The code captures vitamins formulated with supplemental minerals—multivitamins with added zinc or iron, calcium-magnesium combinations, and similar blended supplement products—rather than single-nutrient or standalone mineral supplements. Issuing bodies include state departments of health, county jails and prisons, municipal public health divisions, school districts, and social service agencies operating nutrition assistance or wellness programs for vulnerable populations.

No recent state and local contract opportunities were identified in the procurement record for this Item code. Activity under NIGP 26985 does not appear in current solicitation databases or posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. The absence of recent postings suggests either minimal purchasing velocity under this specific code, consolidation of vitamin procurement into higher-level Class codes or cooperative purchasing vehicles, or procurement handled through standing state contracts or GSA schedules rather than open solicitation.
