NIGP 39348: Dressings, Condiments, Sauces, and Gravies

NIGP 39348 Dressings, Condiments, Sauces, and Gravies, Item code, encompasses shelf-stable condiment products and prepared food accompaniments that state and local governments procure for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and senior services. State and local agencies are actively soliciting ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese sauce, salad oil, and miscellaneous condiment line items as part of broader food service supply contracts, with recent opportunities from state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county governments.

Activity in this code concentrates among state correctional agencies and state-operated health and nutrition facilities across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for condiments including ketchup (September 2026, $22.75 per case from prior award), mayonnaise lite (August 2026 and June 2026, $27.62–$31.74 per case historically), and salad oil (August 2026, $28.92 per case from prior award), each with five-percent Oregon goods and resident-vendor preferences. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is procuring food service groceries that include condiment line items for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFBs with response dates in late August 2026 through September 2026; the Georgia Department of Corrections is soliciting cheese sauce and salad oil under eRFQs posted August 2026 with PDF-only electronic submissions required. The Illinois Department of Corrections has used emergency procurement extensively for commissary items distributed statewide, with multiple emergency final-cost settlements filed through mid-2026 from vendors including Keefe Group, E-Ford Commissary, Performance Food Group (Vistar), and Walmart. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas are bidding comprehensive food procurements with condiment components under Buy American provisions; Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) posted food bids in May 2026 with June response dates, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) solicited grocery items in June 2026. The code sees steady but fragmented activity—no single issuing body dominates, and opportunities reflect operational demand at distributed locations rather than centralized procurement concentration. Volume and pricing vary substantially by product (condiments range from roughly $22–$32 per case depending on type and supplier), and many contracts permit price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or allow quarterly escalation on verified market data. Cooperative purchasing vehicles and emergency procurement authority have played a material role in Illinois correctional commissary supply, while standard ITB and IFB processes dominate in Oregon, Texas, and school district activity.
