NIGP 39341: Coffee, Whole Bean and Ground

NIGP 39341 Coffee, Whole Bean and Ground (Item) covers whole bean and ground coffee supplied to state and local facilities, most commonly institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and other state-supported residential or day-program locations. State and local governments buy this commodity as part of larger food and consumable procurement contracts that bundle coffee with proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and kitchen supplies for on-site cafeteria, canteen, and break-room operations. Issuing bodies include state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies or facilities, state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, and departments of criminal justice. Solicitations typically require firm, fixed unit pricing submitted on mandatory price sheets and specify USDA grade compliance, packaging standards, portion sizes, and delivery terms to multiple warehouse or facility locations. Awards are made on best-value criteria incorporating price, vendor performance history, specification compliance, and delivery capability rather than on price alone.
