About NIGP 38544
NIGP 38544 Entrees, Poultry is an Item code under which state and local governments procure frozen poultry products, processed poultry entrees, and fresh poultry for institutional food service operations serving correctional facilities, schools, child care programs, parks, and state healthcare facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for commodity poultry (frozen chicken leg quarters, pre-cooked chicken patties, poultry franks) and prepared poultry entrees in bulk quantities for high-volume meal programs. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health and human services, county parks divisions, municipal school districts, independent school districts, and regional child care organizations. Georgia Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers, with activity also concentrated among school district food service operations and state institutional feeding programs.
Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division soliciting approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen poultry franks (bids due October 12, 2026, IFB); Georgia Department of Corrections soliciting poultry products for correctional industries (two separate eRFQ notices in August and September 2026); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including chicken leg quarters and pre-cooked chicken patties across five geographic warehouse locations (IFB 304T26300CF, bids extended to May 4, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission is requesting bids on frozen food products including poultry for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, estimated at approximately $9 million annually with potential contract value of $19 million over three years (IFB HHS0017338, bids due August 18, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon; additional solicitations from Connecticut school districts, Texas school districts, and Illinois round out the geographic spread. Vendors must meet USDA Commercial Item Descriptions, frozen-delivery specifications, sodium limits where applicable, and HACCP compliance; state correctional and institutional buyers typically require delivery to central distribution points with firm fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis and monthly or quarterly reporting of usage.
