NIGP 39307: Combination Food Gift Packs

NIGP 39307 Combination Food Gift Packs is an Item code under which state and local governments procure food products and food distribution services to support school nutrition programs, municipal grocery retail operations, and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show that the code's actual scope extends well beyond prepackaged gift assortments to encompass comprehensive food procurement for school cafeterias, food distribution logistics serving municipal markets, and grocery retail operations in underserved communities. The issuing bodies represent a mix of school districts, municipal economic development authorities, and state-level purchasing offices. Tattnall County Board of Education solicited sealed bids for produce, proteins, dairy, and grains to support its School Nutrition Program; Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for both a retail grocery market operator and food distributors to serve Priority Communities; and the State of Georgia posted a broader request for food, supplies, and kitchen products across institutional food service.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, with three recent opportunities posted between May and July 2026. Tattnall County's school nutrition bid closed July 22, 2026, following standard Georgia public procurement procedures. Invest Atlanta's RFP for municipal market retail operations and food distribution services carries an August 6, 2026 deadline, with a pre-proposal conference held July 14, 2026, written questions due July 17, and responses issued July 23, 2026; Category A retail operators must demonstrate five years of grocery retail experience, current food safety certification, and commitment to SNAP/EBT acceptance and 95% in-stock maintenance, while Category B distributors must show five years of commercial food distribution experience, FSMA compliance, and capacity to service at least two metro Atlanta accounts, with incentives including low-interest loans, TAD funding, and subsidized warehouse leases. The State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 solicitation for food and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) indicates ongoing state institutional food procurement, though the full scope is specified in the attached document.
