About NIGP 96259
NIGP 96259 Processing Services, Food (Not Otherwise Classified In Classes 961 Or 962), an Item code, covers state and local procurement of specialized food preparation and production services—meal assembly, portion control, nutritional compliance, and delivery logistics for defined populations and venues. Recent solicitations show school districts, county social services, senior meal programs, and municipal food access initiatives buying prepared-meal production, chicken processing, and meal distribution services that go beyond standard food supply and require staffing with certified food protection managers, registered dietitians, and compliance with specialized nutrition standards such as CACFP, Head Start Performance Standards, and the Older Americans Act.
The issuing bodies span school districts (Cherokee County Schools, Pinellas County Schools, Boulder County), county social services (Pasco County Senior Services, Fulton County), special-purpose economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta), and municipal government (City of Cincinnati).
