NIGP 96107: Beverage Processing Services (All Types)

NIGP 96107 Beverage Processing Services (All Types), an Item code, covers the operation and management of beverage concession programs at municipal facilities and events, including staffing, licensing, permitting, inventory management, point-of-sale systems, and regulatory compliance for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. State and local governments procure these services through revenue-sharing concession agreements at festivals, athletic facilities, and educational institutions, where contractors assume operational responsibility in exchange for commission-based or guaranteed-minimum compensation structures. Issuing bodies include cities (Richardson, Lubbock, Texas), community college districts (Mt. San Antonio College, California), and municipal recreation authorities. Cities solicit alcoholic beverage concession management at festivals and special events under RFPs requiring significant liquor liability insurance and state regulatory certification, while athletic complexes and college campuses request food and non-alcoholic beverage vending and concession services with multi-year contract terms and performance-based compensation tied to sales volume or minimum annual guarantees.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The City of Richardson issued RFP 701-27 for alcoholic beverage concessionaire services at four festivals (30,000–5,000 attendees each) with proposals due November 17, 2026, requiring five years' experience, $4 million liquor liability insurance, and TABC certification; evaluation weights commission payable to the City (25 points), qualifications and experience (40 points), and equipment and operational support (35 points). The City of Lubbock issued RFP 2719980KM for food and non-alcoholic beverage concession services at two municipal athletic complexes, with proposals due November 3, 2026, a guaranteed minimum annual compensation of $108,000 to the City, and a weighted evaluation favoring financial proposal (40 points) and operating plan (20 points).

San Antonio College in California solicited Pouring Rights and Beverage Vending Machine services through RFP #2026-042 (the April 24, 2026 deadline has passed), seeking a five-year supplier relationship commencing July 1, 2026, with compensation including sponsorship fees, rebates, and growth incentives; the incumbent vendor Pepsi generated $280,043 in net 2025 revenue with 9.6% year-over-year growth.
