NIGP 32516: Cottonseed Products

NIGP 32516 Cottonseed Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure cottonseed and cottonseed-derived feed supplements for institutional livestock operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Georgia Correctional Industries represent the primary recent buyers, both sourcing feed inputs for prison farm operations; the scope spans raw cottonseed, cottonseed hulls, and cottonseed-based mineral and vitamin premixes incorporated into broader animal feed blends for cattle and swine. State and local agencies use this code to satisfy agricultural production needs at correctional facilities and related institutional operations, with procurement structured as sealed competitive bids and open agency contracts supporting multi-year supply agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in the South, particularly Texas and Georgia. The Texas Comptroller solicitation (IFB No. 304T-26-325M2.1, due May 27, 2026) sought 240 tons of cottonseed hulls alongside 10,000 tons of yellow corn, 18,200 bales of coastal bermuda hay, and specialized cattle and swine feed premixes for delivery to seven TDCJ correctional facilities; the contract term runs through August 31, 2027 with three optional renewal periods, and pricing includes PPI-indexed escalation and commodity-linked formulas referencing Chicago Board of Trade settlement prices. Georgia Correctional Industries (solicitation GCI0001091, due March 26, 2026) awarded Triangle Chemical Company a $57,994.00 contract for cottonseed delivery to Rogers Farm Service in Reidsville; the award represents a single-source selection against competing bids from Marubeni America Corporation and 1871 GA LLC. Both solicitations mandate F.O.B. Destination pricing, compliance with state feed licensing and quality standards, and commercial general liability insurance.
