NIGP 32568: Rice Products

NIGP 32568 Rice Products is an Item code that covers the supply and delivery of rice and rice-based food products to state and local institutions, particularly school districts managing nutrition programs across multiple locations. State and local governments procure rice products as part of broader food-service operations, combining commodity items with logistics, inventory management, and regulatory compliance support that extends beyond the commodity itself to encompass delivery scheduling, cold-storage management, electronic ordering systems, and USDA compliance documentation.

School districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code. Henry County Schools in Georgia solicited competitive bids through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) posted March 17, 2026, due May 4, 2026, for food items and products supporting its School Nutrition Department across 52 locations, with weekly delivery between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, including inside delivery and unloading. The solicitation required vendors to manage USDA commodity products, support electronic data interchange and online ordering with delivery tracking, carry general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and comply with USDA debarment certification, civil rights assurance, and anti-lobbying requirements. The initial contract term runs through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal terms. Recent activity under this code is limited; no other state or local opportunities appear in the available sources.
