NIGP 39345: Curing Compounds, Meat

NIGP 39345 Curing Compounds, Meat is an Item code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code designation. The two recent opportunities — a Georgia state food-supplies solicitation and a Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative purchasing vehicle — concern fresh agricultural products and kitchen supplies, not meat-curing compounds. The source provides no evidence of actual solicitation activity for meat-curing compounds, seasoning blends, smoke preparations, or other ingredients used in processed-meat production under this code in the recent period.

The Douglas County School System RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) is the more detailed of the two posted opportunities and shows school district purchasing through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two Georgia geographic areas with approximately $5.5 million in combined estimated annual spending for fresh produce and eggs, with line-item awards to multiple vendors based on lowest qualified pricing. The State of Georgia's food-supplies solicitation (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) provides no itemized scope in the summary. Both solicitations issued from Georgia jurisdictions; the source contains no evidence of procurement activity under this code in other states. Business development professionals should verify whether the NIGP code assignment is accurate or whether procurement under this code occurs through different channels not captured in this dataset.
