NIGP 32510: Bird Food, All Types

NIGP 32510 Bird Food, All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure poultry and poultry products for institutional meal service. The code's recent activity centers on school district food-service procurement — specifically, the purchase of prepared or fresh poultry items delivered under refrigerated transport for use in student nutrition programs. Unlike abstract commodity taxonomies that treat bird food as animal feed, this code in practice captures the institutional foodservice supply chain: whole poultry (fresh or frozen), processed poultry cuts, and value-added poultry products destined for cafeteria kitchens and meal programs rather than feed operations.

Harlandale Independent School District (HISD) in San Antonio, Texas posted ITB 270004 on September 25, 2026, requesting bids for tom turkeys and spiral hams with refrigerated delivery, due October 15, 2026 and delivery required December 10, 2026 to the District Warehouse at 12115 S.E. Loop 410. The notice indicates a single-shipment procurement model for each commodity, suggesting seasonal or event-driven purchasing (likely holiday meal programs) rather than standing supply contracts. No other recent opportunities under this code appear in the source material, making current visibility into broader state and local demand for bird-food procurement limited to this single school district ITB in Texas.
