NIGP 04010: Cattle, Beef (Breeding Stock)

NIGP 04010 Cattle, Beef (Breeding Stock) is an Item code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity appearing in recent solicitation records. The only substantive recent opportunity in the available record is a City of Bridgeport, Connecticut grocery-items contract (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department, which includes beef and meat products as line items within a broader food-service supply scope, not breeding-stock procurement. The sourcing appears to be commodity food purchasing for school meals rather than livestock acquisition.

State and local procurement under this code shows minimal recent activity. Geographic visibility is limited to Connecticut based on the single substantive opportunity identified. School districts appear to be the primary issuing body when beef products enter procurement, but the context is food service and nutrition compliance rather than agricultural breeding operations. Pursuit of this code warrants validation against actual jurisdictional procurement needs; the mismatch between the NIGP category definition and active state and local demand suggests limited near-term opportunity.
