NIGP 04083: Pullets, Laying Types, Baby

NIGP 04083 Pullets, Laying Types, Baby is an Item code covering the procurement of young laying hens for state and local agricultural and correctional operations. Recent solicitation activity shows state correctional agencies sourcing pullets for on-site poultry production, with delivery and all-inclusive pricing as standard contract terms. The Georgia Department of Corrections' August 2026 solicitation for pullets to supply Georgia Correctional Industries represents the primary visible use case under this code, indicating demand from correctional facilities operating agricultural programs. Issuing bodies appear limited to state-level agencies with agricultural or food-service operations; school districts, county governments, and municipalities do not appear in the recent opportunity set.

The Georgia Department of Corrections posted solicitation 92100ERFQ0019272027 as an eRFQ with a due date of August 27, 2026, seeking an open agency contract for pullet supply with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing. The solicitation required electronic PDF submission and prohibited bidders from using compliance shortcuts such as checkmarks or "comply" language in specification responses; questions were directed to Issuing Officer Kesi Bates at kesi.bates@gdc.ga.gov. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with Georgia as the sole identified state showing recent procurement under this code. The narrow recent-opportunity window and single-jurisdiction representation suggest limited current market activity under NIGP 04083.
