NIGP 39373: Salt, Table

NIGP 39373 Salt, Table is an Item code under which state and local governments procure table salt and salt-based products primarily for institutional food service and kitchen operations. Recent solicitations show that state departments and correctional agencies buy salt as part of broader food supply contracts serving cafeterias, dining facilities, and food preparation operations across multiple warehousing and distribution points. The Georgia Department of Education and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, have solicited food supplies packages that include salt alongside proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and other kitchen staples. Salt appears in these procurements as a commodity ingredient rather than as a standalone line item, bundled within larger institutional food service frameworks. Issuing bodies include state departments and their central procurement offices, which aggregate demand across multiple facilities and consolidate food supply sourcing to achieve operational efficiency and cost management.

Georgia and Texas show recent activity under this code. The State of Georgia posted an RFP for food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026, with responses due June 22, 2026 (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009); the full scope and line-item detail are specified in the attached solicitation document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas; the contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and the solicitation requires USDA grade compliance and FOB Destination delivery with firm fixed pricing incorporating all shipping and handling costs.
