NIGP 160: Butcher Shop and Meat Processing Equipment

NIGP 160 Butcher Shop And Meat Processing Equipment is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity that directly matches its scope. The source documents reflect school district and municipal food service solicitations—including the City of Meriden, Connecticut's RFP for food service paper goods and disposable products, and the City of Bridgeport's bid request for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products—but none of these opportunities specifically solicits butcher shop equipment, meat processing machinery, or specialized processing tools that would fall within the traditional NIGP 160 taxonomy. The Bridgeport procurement names meat products as part of a broader grocery category but does not isolate equipment or machinery procurement. State and local governments purchasing under this code appear to be primarily school districts and municipalities with food service operations, but the recent-opportunities block contains no formal solicitations targeting processors' equipment, cutting systems, grinding equipment, or facility infrastructure that the NIGP 160 description would encompass.

No representative recent solicitations directly matching NIGP 160 scope are present in the source material. The documented activity consists of food service paper goods, disposable products, and commodity grocery procurement for school lunch programs and municipal food operations in Connecticut and surrounding jurisdictions, along with vendor networking events and informational forums across Florida and Texas. Absent direct solicitation activity under the 160 code, this classification does not present an active pursuit opportunity at this time based on the provided recent-opportunities block.
