NIGP 39382: Syrups and Molasses (Except Fountain)

NIGP 39382 Syrups and Molasses (Except Fountain), an Item code, covers bulk syrup procurement for state and local institutions—primarily correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and other state agencies operating food service operations. State and local governments under this code buy commodity-grade syrups, including maple syrup and generic table syrups, in cases or bulk quantities to support cafeteria operations, residential dining, and canteen services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and comptroller offices procuring on behalf of prison systems and state-supported living centers. These solicitations typically flow through state purchasing divisions and are structured as IFB or ITB notices with firm, fixed unit pricing and FOB destination delivery terms. Bidders compete on compliance with USDA grade standards, shelf-life requirements, packaging specifications, and cost.
