NIGP 64021: Compostable Food Service Products, Including Biodegradable: Bowls, Covers, Hot/Cold Cups, Cutlery, Dinnerware, Servers, Trays, Napkins and Straws

NIGP 64021 Compostable Food Service Products, Including Biodegradable: Bowls, Covers, Hot/Cold Cups, Cutlery, Dinnerware, Servers, Trays, Napkins And Straws is an Item code under which state and local governments procure single-use food service disposables—bowls, cups, containers, lids, cutlery, napkins, straws, trays, and related serviceware—to support meal programs across court facilities, schools, correctional institutions, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show demand spanning both compostable and conventional polypropylene, foam, and paper products, with school districts and state agencies representing the primary buyer base. School nutrition programs dominate activity, with districts sourcing consumables across dozens of line items annually; estimated volumes reach 12,380 cases per item in high-volume categories. Correctional and state health and human services facilities round out the mix, procuring food service supplies as part of broader institutional meal operations. Counties also appear as buyers, though less frequently in the recent record.

The code sees activity across Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, and Illinois in the most recent opportunities. The Polk County Schools (Florida) ITB 002RW0727, posted September 7, 2026 with a July 21 due date (now closed), valued consumable supplies at $1.465 million annually across 47 line items. Stockton Unified School District (California) IFB 26-27-04, due August 26, 2026, solicited paper supplies and disposables to support approximately 20,000 meals per day with a one-year term and four optional renewals.
