NIGP 96142: Grains, Sugar, Oils and Fats Processing Services

NIGP 96142 Grains, Sugar, Oils And Fats Processing Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure processed grain, sugar, oil, and fat products for institutional food service programs, school nutrition operations, and similar bulk consumption. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 RFQ for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items including cereals, baked goods, oils, condiments, and other processed commodity foods for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department exemplifies the scope: procurement bodies buy finished processed foods meeting nutritional standards, Buy American domestic-content requirements, and strict ingredient specifications rather than raw commodities or processing equipment.

The recent posting is limited to a single documented opportunity — the Bridgeport Board of Education grocery procurement (Solicitation BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) — making geographic and issuing-body characterization sparse. The opportunity confirms that school districts and municipal education bodies drive demand under this code. The Bridgeport contract term runs July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with pricing on a firm fixed basis and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites on standard pallets; the Board accepts orders through the LINQ School Solutions system and requires vendor backup stock for 24-hour emergency delivery. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with USDA sourcing rules, state health inspection history, product liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence, and blind-tested product samples meeting Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and whole grain requirements. No additional recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source.
