NIGP 16028: Hooks, Meat

NIGP 16028 Hooks, Meat is an Item code covering meat processing and handling equipment — specifically hooks and hardware designed for carcass suspension, cutting, and storage in slaughterhouses, butcher shops, and commercial food-preparation facilities. State and local governments procure these items primarily through corrections departments (for institutional kitchen operations), school districts (for cafeteria meat-handling infrastructure), and public health or agriculture agencies managing meat inspection facilities or wholesale food distribution centers. The hooks range from simple S-hooks and gambrells for carcass suspension to specialized cutting and butchering hooks, typically sourced as replacement or expansion equipment for existing meat-processing operations or new facility buildouts.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices, geographic distribution, issuing-body frequency, or representative solicitation detail cannot be determined from available records.
