About NIGP 39397
NIGP 39397 Food Products, Scrap Or Waste (Item) encompasses food waste recycling, food recovery services, and residential or commercial food waste collection and processing—services state and local governments are actively procuring to support sustainability goals, correctional facilities, municipal markets, and school nutrition programs. The code captures the full spectrum from food waste diversion (composting, anaerobic digestion, rendering, animal feed processing) through food recovery (directing edible food to nonprofit recovery organizations) to curbside collection and containerized waste management. Issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation), cities (Salt Lake City, Gainesville), counties (Milwaukee County, Forsyth County Schools, Tattnall County Board of Education), regional development authorities (Invest Atlanta), and school districts.
Recent solicitations show geographic concentration in the Southeast and Southwest. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation issued IFB C5613381-D on September 1, 2026, for food and green waste recycling services across 33 correctional facilities statewide with a 25% small business participation requirement and bids due October 16, 2026. The City of Gainesville, Florida (RFP PWDA-260027-SM) is procuring residential curbside food waste collection and processing for approximately 29,000 single-family homes, with proposals due March 19, 2026, and anticipated service commencement October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, plus four one-year renewal options. Salt Lake City issued RFI SLCI27037 on October 9, 2026, seeking information from food waste recycling and food recovery vendors to inform zero-waste planning; the City of Gainesville RFP and the CDCR IFB both impose specific experience thresholds (three years minimum documented commercial or municipal food waste collection experience in Gainesville's case) and compliance requirements including vehicle fuel-efficiency preferences, safety programs, and employment standards. Milwaukee County Zoo's ITB for waste container rental and service (due October 9, 2026) and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for retail grocery operations and commercial food distribution (due August 6, 2026, with pre-proposal conference July 14) reflect broader municipal investment in food supply chains and waste diversion infrastructure.
