NIGP 38085: Toppings, Whipped, Refrigerated

NIGP 38085 Toppings, Whipped, Refrigerated is an Item code under which state and local governments procure refrigerated whipped toppings and related dairy-based dessert and food-service products as part of broader food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show this code operates within larger food-product buys rather than as a standalone commodity line, with whipped toppings appearing as components of comprehensive school-nutrition procurement packages that include fresh produce, eggs, and general kitchen supplies.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and state agencies managing institutional food service. Henry County Schools, a Georgia school district serving 52 locations, issued two parallel Invitations for Bid in March 2026 (solicitation numbers 20261001000317SCHOOLNUTRITIONFOODITEMSANDPRODUCTS and PE67510NONST2026000000030, both due May 4, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition food items and products including refrigerated components, requiring weekly deliveries Monday through Friday with cold storage capability, electronic ordering via Bonfire procurement portal, and USDA commodity compliance. Douglas County School System, also in Georgia, released an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with scope details contained in attached documentation. All three opportunities are concentrated in Georgia, with school districts representing the dominant issuing-body type and competitive bidding open to all qualified vendors meeting insurance, licensing, and USDA-compliance requirements.
