NIGP 38514: Coffee

NIGP 38514 Coffee, an Item code, captures state and local government purchases of coffee products for institutional use—primarily for school nutrition programs, state facilities, airports, and municipal operations. Recent solicitations show coffee appearing both as a standalone commodity (the City of Dallas one-time purchase of coffee and creamer for Dallas Airport; Philadelphia International Airport's requirements contract for coffee, tea, sugar, and related items) and embedded within broader food and beverage packages (Northside Independent School District's catering and concessions bid explicitly lists coffee as one of 34 product categories; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Mexia State Supported Living Center canteen procurement includes beverages as part of a 130-line-item snack and beverage bundle). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, and City Schools of Decatur all procure food items that include coffee or related beverages under their nutrition service programs. State departments and municipalities round out the buyer base, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, and the City of Philadelphia all active in this code space.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, driven by school district nutrition procurement cycles. Georgia emerges as the most active jurisdiction, with Henry County Schools, Decatur Schools, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia all issuing solicitations between February and July 2026. Texas follows closely—Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the City of Dallas all posted bids in April through July. Connecticut, Missouri, and Pennsylvania round out the geographic footprint. Representative recent opportunities include the Philadelphia International Airport's requirements contract for coffee, tea, sugar, and related items (RFQ/small order purchase, maximum annual value $99,000, due July 15, 2026); Northside Independent School District's broad Food, Restaurants, Catering Services & Concessions bid explicitly naming coffee alongside 33 other product categories (IFB 2026-061, due June 11, 2026); and the City of Dallas one-time informal solicitation for coffee and creamer (IFS AVI B2600021, due April 22, 2026). Most solicitations require firm pricing, delivery scheduling coordination, and integration with electronic procurement portals; school district contracts emphasize National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American provisions where applicable.
