NIGP 38010: Butter (see 390-56 for Margarine)

NIGP 38010 Butter, an Item code, covers dairy products procured by state and local governments for consumption at facilities including juvenile detention centers, correctional institutions, schools, and other institutional settings. State and local buyers under this code source butter alongside broader dairy line items — milk in multiple fat contents and flavors, yogurt, cheese, cream, ice cream, and related products — typically bundled in multi-item solicitations that treat butter as one commodity among many in scheduled delivery contracts. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices (particularly those managing juvenile justice, corrections, and education systems) that consolidate dairy purchasing across multiple facilities and geographic regions. State departments of public accounts and comparable centralized procurement divisions are the repeat buyers, managing volume agreements with quarterly or annual contract terms that span numerous delivery points.

Texas and Georgia show recent activity under the code. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T27380M12 on August 7, 2026 for dairy and juice scheduled deliveries with a bid due date of August 25, 2026, covering butter along with 181 other line items for delivery to eight Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities and state education/law-enforcement locations; the solicitation specified Buy American requirements, firm all-inclusive pricing covering delivery, and contract terms extending through November 30, 2027 with renewal options through 2029. The State of Georgia posted an RFQ (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date, with full scope and item detail contained in the attached solicitation document.
