NIGP 64022: Containers, Paper and Plastic

NIGP 64022 Containers, Paper and Plastic is an Item code encompassing disposable and reusable containers for food service, waste management, and general commercial use — including refuse and recycling bins, food trays, bowls, cups, and related food-service packaging materials. State and local governments solicit under this code for municipal waste operations, school cafeteria supply chains, and administrative operations. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (waste management), school districts (food-service operations), and county purchasing departments. The work involves selecting vendors capable of meeting specification requirements for material composition, durability, capacity, and compliance with state administrative codes and industry standards — and, in multi-jurisdictional cooperative contracts, maintaining nationwide distribution infrastructure and competitive pricing across multiple participating agencies.

Recent activity spans Arizona and Florida. The City of Tucson, Arizona, posted RFP No. 226024 on February 26, 2026, soliciting refuse and recycling container solutions through OMNIA Partners, a national cooperative purchasing vehicle, with an estimated annual purchase volume of approximately $50 million and a ten-year product warranty requirement; proposals were due October 4, 2022, with a pre-submittal conference on August 18, 2022. The School Board of Marion County, Florida, posted competitive sealed bid 4155MF on February 2, 2026, for school cafeteria products (74 line items including bowls, cups, containers, food trays, and packaging materials) with delivery to a central warehouse, response due January 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. Both solicitations emphasize strict specification compliance, commercial packaging standards, and the ability to deliver on demand or on schedule to a single aggregated receiving point.
