NIGP 77527: Ice Cream Salt

NIGP 77527 Ice Cream Salt, an Item code, addresses a narrow product category: salt used in the freezing process for ice cream and related frozen-dessert production. State and local governments procure this commodity primarily through facilities management, food-service operations, and parks-and-recreation departments that operate ice cream production or soft-serve equipment. The product itself is a specialized chemical input — typically rock salt or food-grade salt formulated to lower the freezing point of ice-cream mixture — rather than a finished consumable or equipment service.
