NIGP 27128: Diets, Complete, Liquid; And Liquid Food Supplements (Oral and Tube Fed)

NIGP 27128 Diets, Complete, Liquid; And Liquid Food Supplements (Oral And Tube Fed) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure infant formula, enteral feeding products, and complete liquid nutrition supplements for public health programs, institutional feeding operations, and medical equipment supply contracts. The scope of work covers milk-based and soy-based infant formulas in multiple physical forms (concentrated liquid, powdered, ready-to-feed), enteral feeding supplies and pumps, and durable medical equipment classifications that include feeding-related products. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments managing federal nutrition assistance programs, state departments of corrections operating large-scale institutional food service, and developmental centers purchasing medical supplies under Medicare fee-schedule pricing. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Illinois Department of Human Services (through Murray Developmental Center) appear as active recent buyers under this code.

Recent procurement activity centers in Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0016707) on October 14, 2026 for WIC infant formula rebate contracts serving approximately 207,707 monthly participants across Texas (178,075), Minnesota (15,130), Iowa (13,477), and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (1,025), with bids due January 11, 2027; the contract runs October 1, 2027 through September 30, 2032 with potential one-year extension. Murray Developmental Center in Centralia, Illinois solicited DME vendors (27444DHSDEVDIB52788 and 27444DHSDEVDIB52936) in June 2026 to supply enteral feeding products and pumps among broader medical equipment categories, with contracts through June 30, 2027, pricing dictated by Medicare Part B fee schedules. The Texas WIC rebate procurement requires minimum two years of relevant formula rebate experience, HUB subcontracting compliance, and remittance of rebate payments within thirty calendar days; the Illinois DME contracts require Medicare certification and accept-assignment status. Both solicitations emphasize volume stability across multiple jurisdictions and compliance with federal nutrition and medical regulations.
