NIGP 57026: Foil Stock

NIGP 57026 Foil Stock, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of disposable paper products used in food service, institutional feeding, and related operations—specifically food containers, wrapping materials, portion cups, take-out containers, utensils, and bags sourced by state and local public bodies. Recent solicitation activity under this code shows school districts as primary buyers, driven by child nutrition and mass-feeding operations that generate substantial recurring demand for single-use service ware and food packaging. The scope extends beyond foil stock narrowly defined to include the full range of paper and disposable products bundled with food service procurement, reflecting how many state and local purchasing offices consolidate paper goods with food-service distribution contracts rather than buying packaging separately.

The Conejo Valley Unified School District in Ventura County, California, posted RFP 202603 on April 23, 2026, seeking a qualified vendor to provide distribution and delivery of paper products and child nutrition foodstuff across 29 schools serving over 15,000 students, with 180 line items spanning containers, utensils, bags, wrapping materials, portion cups, and take-out containers; the District anticipated approximately two million meals annually and required proposals by May 14, 2026 (with electronic submission closing May 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time). The contract carried a one-year initial term beginning July 1, 2026, with two optional renewal periods and firm fixed F.O.B. Destination pricing with no fuel surcharges or guaranteed purchase volumes. Recent activity under this code remains limited in the available record, with the California school district procurement as the primary visible opportunity.
