NIGP 39343: Crackers and Cookies, Packaged

NIGP 39343 Crackers And Cookies, Packaged is an Item code under which state and local governments procure packaged snack items—primarily crackers, cookies, and similar prepared foods—as part of broader foodservice and nutrition programs serving institutions including state health facilities, correctional institutions, and K-12 school districts. Recent solicitations show this code is purchased within larger food and consumables contracts rather than as a standalone category; state agencies and school districts bundle crackers and cookies alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and other staple items to supply centralized kitchens, canteens, and nutrition programs.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, and school district nutrition programs across multiple states. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple solicitations (HHS0016792 and HHS0017722) for supplemental foods serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with crackers and cookies embedded in 210-line-item food procurements; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations; and school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Elk Grove Unified School District (California) have issued K-12 grocery and nutrition-services contracts covering hundreds of line items including packaged snacks. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, California, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017722 for assorted snack products for the Mexia State Supported Living Center (response due July 31, 2026), requesting approximately 130 line items across prepared foods, beverages, and snacks with a historical annual value of $75,000; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026), requiring bidders to supply a minimum of 76 items from its school delivery section with weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Elk Grove Unified School District's food products procurement (response due March 21, 2026) spanning 249 line items for a central kitchen facility serving 67 school sites and approximately 47,000 daily meals.
