NIGP 39339: Coffee Extender

NIGP 39339 Coffee Extender, an Item code, covers specialty food additives and extenders used in institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement under this specific commodity line. State and local governments source these products primarily as components within broader food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies active in this space include state agencies, school districts, and cooperative purchasing groups serving multiple jurisdictions. When coffee extenders and similar food additives appear in procurement, they typically form part of larger food-supply, kitchen-product, or institutional-cafeteria-support contracts that bundle beverages, dry goods, and preparation supplies.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, where the State of Georgia issued RFP PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a response date of June 22, 2026, and the Douglas County School System (on behalf of the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across two areas) issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs with a response deadline of March 4, 2026—estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with contract terms running through June 30, 2027. Neither solicitation names coffee extender explicitly, reflecting the pattern that such commodities are embedded within category-level food-supply and kitchen-products procurements rather than solicited as distinct line items.
