NIGP 96783: Tobacco Manufacturing and Processing Services

NIGP 96783 Tobacco Manufacturing and Processing Services, an Item code, covers the manufacture, processing, and treatment of tobacco products and tobacco-derived materials for state and local government use. The code encompasses cigarette production, smokeless tobacco processing, and related manufacturing services where government entities contract directly with tobacco processors or manufacturers for finished or semi-finished tobacco goods. State and local purchasing offices, departments of corrections (for commissary stock), and public health agencies occasionally solicit under this code, though activity remains limited compared to broader commodities.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in the available procurement records for this code. The absence of posted solicitations suggests minimal current demand or that jurisdictions are sourcing tobacco products through established vendors, cooperative purchasing agreements, or existing blanket purchase orders rather than issuing new competitive notices.
