NIGP 96125: Dairy Products Processing Services

NIGP 96125 Dairy Products Processing Services is an Item code that covers the supply and delivery of milk, dairy products, and related beverages to state and local institutions such as school districts. Recent solicitations show school districts procuring fluid milk, packaged dairy items, and non-dairy juice products on multi-year contracts with daily or regular delivery schedules to multiple facilities. The Pinellas County School District's recent bid for milk, dairy, and juice products supplying approximately 117 district facilities illustrates the scope: vendors must deliver products to schools on rotating schedules, submit samples for student acceptance testing, comply with Federal Buy American Policy requirements, obtain Level 2 background clearance for personnel with school access, and maintain general liability and workers' compensation insurance. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, though state purchasing offices may also coordinate cooperative contracts that school districts reference when evaluating pricing.

Procurement activity under this code centers in Florida, where the Pinellas County School District issued sealed electronic bids (Solicitation 26JG021) due June 11, 2026 for a two-year milk, dairy, and juice contract valued at approximately $22.5 million including renewal options. The solicitation divides products into three groups: Group A milk products with fluctuating pricing tied to raw milk costs, Group B dairy products with firm fixed pricing, and Group C non-dairy juices with firm fixed pricing. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the District's e-Procurement Portal, and products are subject to student acceptance testing before award. The contract commences August 1, 2026 and extends through July 31, 2028 with potential renewal for up to three additional one-year periods. The District considers pricing established by the State of Florida Department of Management Services and does not identify set-aside restrictions limiting bid eligibility.
