NIGP 01950: Hops

NIGP 01950 Hops is an Item code covering agricultural commodities purchased by state and local education and nutrition programs. Under this code, state and local governments procure hops and related agricultural inputs to support school meal programs and institutional food services. The Butts County School System's recent solicitation for food products to support its School Nutrition Program during School Year 2026-2027 exemplifies the procurement activity tracked here, though the scope extends across school districts and other nutrition-focused public bodies seeking commodity inputs for meal preparation and service across multiple facility locations.

The Butts County School System issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for food supplies on April 27, 2026, with a bid submission deadline of May 26, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. at 181 N. Mulberry Street, Jackson, Georgia 30233. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with options for a three-month extension and renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms. All bid prices must remain firm for 30 days from contract award and thereafter fixed for the contract period, with limited exceptions for price adjustments based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data. Bidders must include all packing and transportation costs on a freight-on-board basis with no separate fuel charges allowed. Compliance with federal regulations is mandatory, including Buy American provisions (7 CFR 210.21(d)) and HACCP requirements. The solicitation reflects typical school nutrition program procurement across Georgia, though recent-opportunity visibility under this specific Item code remains limited in the available data.
