NIGP 38585: Spices, Herbs, Seasonings, Starches (to Include Seasoned Salt and Pepper), Frozen

NIGP 38585 Spices, Herbs, Seasonings, Starches (To Include Seasoned Salt And Pepper), Frozen is an Item code purchasing ingredient staples and seasoning products through state and local school foodservice, institutional kitchen, and government supply contracts. State and local governments procure these commodities as components of broader food-service solicitations serving schools, state agencies, and other institutional facilities; the products appear as line items within larger food and kitchen-supply bids rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies include state departments, county school districts, and state education systems, with school districts representing the primary buyer class given the prevalence of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracting activity.
