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

NIGP 38030 Cream, All Types (Including Sour Cream) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure dairy products — including heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and related refrigerated dairy items — as components of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional feeding programs. The code surfaces primarily in school district nutrition procurement and state-agency institutional cafeteria operations, where cream and sour cream appear as line items within comprehensive grocery, dairy, or food-service solicitations rather than as standalone buys. State agencies, school districts (independent and county-based), and state health systems represent the core issuing bodies; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts dominate recent activity. Scope spans weekly or scheduled delivery of packaged cream and sour cream in varying sizes (half-pint to five-pound containers and gallons) to multiple fixed locations — cafeterias, kitchen receiving areas, and distribution warehouses — with strict delivery-window compliance, temperature-controlled transport, and product-acceptance protocols tied to child-nutrition reimbursement or institutional-meal standards.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two IFBs in June and July 2026: HHS0017418 (FY27 Dairy Products, Juices, Statewide, due July 15, 2026) covering cream and sour cream delivery to 20 state-hospital and state-supported-living-center locations statewide with $1.6 million annual historical spend; and HHS0017660 (FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026) as a multi-line grocery procurement including dairy items with $32.2 thousand prior-year baseline. In Georgia, Muscogee County School District (IFB 26-023, due May 29, 2026) solicited heavy whipping cream and sour cream in sixteen product line items with weekly direct delivery to school kitchens. Pinellas County School District in Florida (RFP 26JG021, due June 11, 2026) procured dairy products across 117 schools valued at approximately $22.5 million over two years with product-sampling requirements and daily-delivery logistics. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, RFP2026047, due May 6, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) issued similar school-nutrition dairy contracts. Activity reflects seasonal alignment with school-year commencement (August) and institutional-meal cycles; most contracts run July-through-June or September-through-August terms with optional one-year renewals at issuing-body discretion.
