NIGP 38090: Yogurt

NIGP 38090 Yogurt is an Item code encompassing dairy yogurt products — plain, Greek, and specialty formulations — that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, Head Start agencies, and university dining operations. The code captures both individual serving cups and bulk container sizes supplied under scheduled delivery contracts. Recent solicitations show yogurt appearing as line items within broader dairy and food service RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone commodity bids, though yogurt specifications consistently appear alongside milk, cheese, frozen yogurt, and ice cream in statewide and district food procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services operating institutional facilities, county and municipal school districts of varying size, specialized public agencies such as Head Start networks, and higher-education institutions; school districts represent the dominant buyer category, followed by state institutional food service operations.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, and Wisconsin. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-27-380M1.2 in August 2026 covering yogurt alongside milk, cheese, and other dairy products with scheduled FOB Destination delivery to eight Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas School for the Deaf through November 30, 2027 with renewal options through November 30, 2029; reference manufacturers included Yoplait and Chobani. Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. solicited milk and yogurt products in June 2026 via IFB 26-MK with bids due June 24, 2026, specifying plain and Greek yogurt in multiple container sizes for delivery to Dallas County Head Start sites across a one-year initial term with four optional renewals. The Pinellas County School District in Florida issued IFB 26JG021 in May 2026 for Milk, Dairy & Juice Products due June 11, 2026, covering approximately 117 district facilities with a two-year initial contract valued at approximately $22.5 million; the Cobb County School District in Georgia issued RFP P26132 in May 2026 for frozen treats including sherbet, sorbet, and gelato with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $525,000, due June 15, 2026.
