NIGP 26985: Supplements, with Vitamins

NIGP 26985 Supplements, With Vitamins is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit specialized nutritional and dietary services and expertise rather than commodity purchases of vitamin or supplement products. Recent state and local opportunities show issuing bodies — primarily state corrections departments and municipal utilities — procuring professional dietitian consultation, menu planning and nutritional assessment services for institutional food service operations, and specialized chemical treatment systems for wastewater phosphorus control that incorporate nutrient-management chemistry. The scope spans registered dietitian services for large-scale correctional institutional menu development, nutrition compliance review to meet Recommended Dietary Allowances, and accommodation of medical and therapeutic diets, alongside equipment and chemical systems for phosphorus recovery and nutrient reduction in wastewater treatment. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and municipal water utilities, with the recent posting block showing activity from Utah state agencies and municipalities.

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Department of Corrections, posted a Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) request (solicitation AK27107, due October 12, 2026) for a Registered Dietitian to provide five-year institutional menu planning and review services across three correctional facilities (approximately 21,500 meals per day total), evaluated on correctional expertise, litigation defense capability, scope execution, and professional references on a 1000-point scale. The City of Orem issued a proposal solicitation (solicitation PROJECTNO230904, due October 16, 2026) for design, manufacture, and delivery of a complete Phosphorus Control System for its Water Reclamation Facility, federally funded through EPA grant and subject to Build America and Buy America Act compliance, with lump-sum pricing, shop drawings due within sixty days of award, and equipment delivery required within six months. Utah dominates the recent posting record; no activity appears in other states in the opportunities block.
