NIGP 92520: Cold Storage; Refrigeration; Fast Freeze/Engineering

NIGP 92520 Cold Storage; Refrigeration; Fast Freeze/Engineering is an Item code that encompasses refrigerated and frozen food storage facilities, thermal equipment, and related infrastructure serving state and local government operations—though the recent opportunities in this dataset do not directly reflect solicitations under this code. The New Jersey Department of Agriculture's RFP 26DPP01313 for food storage and warehousing services covering dry, cooler, and frozen storage of USDA donated foods across approximately 700 school districts managing over 584,000 cases valued at approximately $20 million annually represents the closest match in scope, requiring facilities with cooler and frozen storage capacity, truck siding for multiple daily inbound and outbound deliveries, compliance with 7 CFR Part 250 and USDA Food Distribution Program regulations, and annual physical inventory reconciliation. This procurement involves awards of up to two contracts—one per zone (Southern Jersey and Northern Jersey)—with firm-fixed pricing across three contract years. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code typically include state departments (such as the New Jersey Department of Agriculture), school districts managing child nutrition programs, and municipal facilities operations departments.

The dataset's recent opportunities show limited direct activity in refrigeration and cold storage procurement at the state and local level during the 2026 period. Beyond the New Jersey food storage solicitation, the broader solicitations posted between April and October 2026 focus on refuse transfer trailers, design engineering, law enforcement equipment, and facility reconstruction services—none of which align with NIGP 92520's core commodity or service scope. Geographic representation in the source reflects primarily Georgia and New Jersey activity, though the law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement through Sourcewell encompasses multiple Pacific Northwest counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The data provided does not support characterization of current market concentration, repeat buyers, or pipeline momentum under NIGP 92520 specifically.
