NIGP 16054: Recycled Butcher Shop and Meat Processing Supplies

NIGP 16054 Recycled Butcher Shop And Meat Processing Supplies, an Item code, encompasses supplies and equipment for meat-processing programs within secondary career and technical education. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts purchasing instructional materials, specialized equipment, and support services for CTE meat-processing and culinary programs. The recent procurement mix includes equipment, consumables, textbooks, and related implementation and maintenance support delivered as part of broader CTE program vendor contracts. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, procuring resources to staff hands-on instruction in meat science, butchery, food safety, and food-service preparation. Vendors must typically hold Texas business licenses, maintain general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and meet background check and OSHA compliance standards; districts actively encourage participation by HUB, MWBE, SBE, and veteran-owned businesses when federal funding applies.

Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted RFP 26-101 in April 2026 seeking CTE and Advanced Academics instructional resources across 17 program areas, including meat processing and culinary pathways. The district accepted proposals through June 5, 2026, and evaluated submissions on best value criteria including price, vendor reputation, quality, and past district relationships, with contract awards anticipated by August 10, 2026 and services commencing September 1, 2026 under a one-year initial term plus four optional one-year renewals. The RFP structure permitted vendors to bid on single or multiple categories, with the district reserving discretion to award by category to multiple vendors. No overall budget range or guaranteed minimum purchase volume was disclosed; all pricing was firm fixed-price for the initial contract period, with actual service delivery contingent on issuance of purchase orders.
