NIGP 37014: Crushers, Food

NIGP 37014 Crushers, Food is an Item code that covers food processing and preparation equipment used by state and local agencies, though recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse. The two recent opportunities posted show a mismatch between the code name and actual procurement: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an Invitation to Bid for supplemental groceries—frozen pies, canned goods, beverages, and prepared items—rather than food crushers or processing equipment; the School Board of Seminole County, Florida, solicited a multi-vendor contract for commercial kitchen equipment including walk-in coolers, freezers, and related items via Invitation to Bid, again emphasizing storage and preparation rather than crushing or grinding machinery. Issuing bodies under this code include county boards of commissioners and school districts, with procurement focused on food service operations and culinary programs rather than industrial food processing.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations posted in Georgia and Florida as of early 2026. Gwinnett County's BL048-26 groceries contract, posted March 26, 2026, with a May 6, 2026 response deadline, seeks delivery to three county facilities and includes an initial term with four optional 12-month renewals; the School Board of Seminole County's ITB 25260063B-VG, posted February 2, 2026, targets kitchen equipment for dining and culinary programs at approximately $1.5 million estimated annual volume, with a voluntary pre-bid meeting held January 13, 2026, and final Board approval anticipated March 10, 2026. Neither solicitation mentions set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises.
