NIGP 37545: Doughnuts, Fried Pies, Bagels, etc.

NIGP 37545 Doughnuts, Fried Pies, Bagels, Etc., an Item code, encompasses bread and bakery products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—primarily school districts, state hospital systems, and correctional or residential care facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing fresh sandwich breads in whole grain and specialty varieties, hamburger and frankfurter buns, rolls, bagels, tortillas, and snack items as components of broader food service contracts. The work involves firm fixed pricing, weekly or multi-day-per-week delivery windows, fresh-product guarantees with date-stamping and shelf-life requirements, and compliance with health and sanitation standards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission), large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Katy Independent School District in Texas), and state-supported institutional care networks. Vendors must typically operate order-acceptance systems, maintain active phone support during business hours, and absorb transportation costs under F.O.B. Destination terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017445 for bread and bakery products serving state hospitals and living centers statewide, with a historical annual spend of $2 million and a July 13, 2026 response deadline; bidders must commit to 100 percent of requested items per service area and meet strict delivery windows (Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.). Fairfax County Public Schools posted IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens, with responses due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum three-year vendor experience and a nine-month shelf life guarantee. Henry County Schools in Georgia solicited food items and products across 52 locations via IFB PE67510NONST2026000000030, with bids due May 4, 2026, mandating weekly delivery Monday–Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and compatibility with the district's Bonfire procurement portal. All three jurisdictions reserve the right to make single or multiple awards and do not guarantee purchase volumes.
