About NIGP 98940
NIGP 98940 Food Sampling and Preparation Services, an Item code, encompasses catering, meal production, and food service delivery for state and local government populations — including emergency responders, students, seniors, and special-needs populations. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies procuring on-demand catering for disaster response, regular meal production for school and senior nutrition programs, and mobile food access services. Issuing bodies span city governments (Cincinnati, St. Cloud), county school districts (Murray County Board of Education), and county commissions (Pasco County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). The work typically requires food handler certification, current health inspections, liability insurance, and compliance with nutritional standards or USDA guidelines. Vendors bid on factors such as qualifications and experience, service delivery approach, unit pricing, and quality assurance capabilities.
Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with live solicitations in Florida (Pasco County, St. Cloud) and Georgia (Murray County), alongside information-gathering activity in Ohio (Cincinnati). The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP-LK-26-045 on May 1, 2026, for food production services supporting senior congregate and home-delivered meal programs across five senior centers, with proposals due June 9, 2026, and evaluation weighted heavily toward menus (90 points), scope of work (85 points), and staffing (45 points). Murray County Board of Education School Nutrition Program posted an RFP on June 9, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to ten school cafeterias during the 2026–2027 school year, with proposals due July 6, 2026, evaluated 60% on price, 20% on delivery performance, and 10% each on quality and references. The City of St. Cloud, Florida, issued RFP #2025-146 on July 27, 2026, for emergency food services (catering for disaster response), with a maximum annual contract value of $150,000 and aggregate limit of $450,000 over potential three-year terms. The City of Cincinnati posted an RFI (not a procurement) on September 30, 2026, requesting information from nonprofit and private entities on developing or operating a mobile market program to expand healthy food access, with responses due October 23, 2026.
