NIGP 37552: Pies

NIGP 37552 Pies, an Item code, represents a narrow commodity line within state and local food procurement, though recent opportunities show the code is being used to solicit broader food-service categories including candy, beverages, catering, and mobile food services rather than pies as a discrete product. State and local governments procuring under this code buy prepared and packaged food items for institutional consumption—primarily through state health and human services departments, school districts, and other public facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies and independent school districts in Texas, with activity centered on blanket purchase orders and vendor-roster expansions to support multiple campuses, departments, and institutional locations. Procurement is typically structured as fixed-price, firm-unit-cost arrangements with volume guarantees absent and price adjustments limited to CPI-indexed formulas at the buyer's discretion.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB (HHS0017656) on July 14, 2026, for candy and beverages for Big Spring State Hospital, with bids due July 28, 2026, based on historical FY 2025 spend of $55,018.47 and contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with one optional renewal. Katy Independent School District (Harris County, Texas) issued an RFP (RFP2402AK-B) posted April 28, 2026, for restaurant catering, delivery, and mobile food services with proposal deadline June 15, 2026, establishing a vendor roster for multiple campuses and departments through March 28, 2027 with options to renew annually for up to three additional years. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with due date June 22, 2026. Activity is concentrated in Texas with limited activity signaled in Georgia; recent opportunities do not identify set-asides, incumbent vendors, or contract award values.
