NIGP 04082: Pullets

NIGP 04082 Pullets, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of young laying hens for state and local operations, specifically institutional food production and agricultural enterprises. The Georgia Department of Corrections solicited pullets on August 18, 2026, for Georgia Correctional Industries under an open agency contract vehicle, signaling that state correctional systems actively use this code to source birds for on-site egg production and farm operations. The work involves establishing supplier relationships for regular delivery of pullets meeting detailed specifications, with delivery costs included in all-inclusive pricing and no separate freight allowances.

The limited recent activity visible in state and local opportunities reflects the specialized, narrowly distributed nature of this commodity. Georgia appears as the sole state with a current solicitation; the Georgia Department of Corrections issued an RFQ (solicitation 92100ERFQ0019272027) with response due August 27, 2026, requiring electronic PDF submission and strict specification compliance with no permissible shortcuts or abbreviations in bid language. Issuing offices enforce communication restrictions between posting and award announcement and require all questions to route through designated procurement officers. This code likely sees sporadic activity across a small set of state departments of corrections, agricultural extension services, and institutional food systems rather than broad municipal or county procurement engagement.
