NIGP 83047: Stainless Steel Tanks, Holding (for Milk)

NIGP 83047 Stainless Steel Tanks, Holding (For Milk), an Item code, describes specialized stainless steel storage tanks engineered to 3-A Sanitary Standards for dairy product handling and processing. State and local governments and higher-education institutions procure these tanks for milk storage, handling, and dairy operations requiring equipment that meets 3-A sanitary certification — a compliance requirement across dairy facilities operated or contracted by public agencies. The tanks are typically specified with particular configurations, materials, and capacities tied to individual facility operational needs. Buyers under this code include university dairy operations, state agricultural extension programs, and municipal or county-operated dairy facilities.
