NIGP 38030: Cream, All Types (Including Sour Cream)

NIGP 38030 Cream, All Types (Including Sour Cream), an Item code, encompasses cream products—including sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and specialty cream varieties—that state and local governments procure as components of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional and educational facilities. Recent solicitations show cream being purchased as part of multi-line-item grocery and dairy packages rather than as standalone commodity purchases; contracts typically bundle cream with milk, yogurt, cheese, and juice products in quantities ranging from single cases to several thousand units annually per facility, with delivery to hospitals, state-supported living centers, juvenile justice facilities, and school districts across multiple locations.

State health and human services commissions, school districts, and county purchasing offices dominate the issuing-body mix. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple recent IFBs covering cream and dairy products for Big Spring State Hospital and statewide state-supported living centers, with contract values ranging from historical spend of $32,226 annually to $1.6 million annually across twenty delivery locations. The Pinellas County School District in Florida issued an IFB in May 2026 for milk, dairy, and juice products valued at approximately $22.5 million over the initial two-year contract period, with cream included as a line item. Muscogee County School District in Georgia solicited dairy products including heavy whipping cream and sour cream in April 2026. Texas dominates recent activity, with additional procurement from Florida and Georgia school districts. Representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-27-380M1.2, posted August 7, 2026 with responses due August 25, 2026, covering 182 line items of dairy products including cream across eight Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities and two state agencies; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017418, posted June 22, 2026 with responses due July 15, 2026, for dairy products including cream and sour cream to twenty state-supported living centers with $1.6 million historical annual spend; and Pinellas County Schools RFP 26JG021, posted May 13, 2026 with responses due June 11, 2026, covering approximately 117 school facilities. Buy American requirements apply to most school district and many state procurements. Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal options and include firm fixed pricing with Consumer Price Index adjustments, FOB Destination delivery to multiple sites within specified time windows, and product temperature and shelf-life guarantees.
