NIGP 45020: Cans, Food and Beverage Packaging

NIGP 45020 Cans, Food And Beverage Packaging, an Item code, covers food and beverage containers purchased by state and local governments, though recent activity under this code is sparse. The available solicitation record shows a single relevant opportunity: the City of Albany, Georgia's RFP #27-018 for lease operation or sale of a craft beverage production and event space that includes packaging infrastructure as part of a broader facility activation. The second posting in the source—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—falls outside this code's scope and does not represent state or local procurement activity under 45020.

The Albany Downtown Development Authority (DDA) opportunity, posted September 1, 2026 with proposals due October 1, 2026, is the only documented recent procurement touching this code's commodity space. The DDA sought operators for a 23,700-square-foot industrial craft beverage production facility that includes packaging infrastructure (12 cellar-vessel positions and the mechanical systems to support beverage distribution). Respondents could pursue one of three operational pathways—production and distribution, hospitality and events, or integrated facility management—with evaluation on a 100-point best-value basis across team qualifications, concept quality, operational plans, and financial terms. Mandatory pre-proposal conference occurred September 9, 2026, and written questions were due September 18, 2026. Given the narrow recent posting activity, no clear pattern of repeat buyers, geographic clustering, or sustained procurement volume under this Item code is evident from the available record.
