NIGP 39359: Jams, Jellies, and Preserves

NIGP 39359 Jams, Jellies, and Preserves is an Item code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable condiment packets and bulk jelly products for institutional food service, corrections facilities, senior services, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show purchases of individual jelly packets in assorted flavors for blanket agreements, as well as bulk jelly alongside canned and frozen food staples within broader institutional food-service contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies—the Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission, and Department of State Health Services—supplemented by county and municipal purchasing offices such as Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and the State of Georgia. Most activity concentrates in institutional and custodial settings where food is centrally procured and distributed to multiple satellite facilities.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code, with four Department of Criminal Justice blanket solicitations for jelly packets posted in July 2026 covering distribution centers in Beeville, Snyder, Wynne, and Rosharon, all due July 27, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two institutional food-service bids in June and July 2026 for state hospitals and supported living centers that include jelly as a line item within broader consumable-product scopes; the El Paso facility contract (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) carried a prior-period historical spend of $1.5 million across all NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393. Outside Texas, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including jelly on October 13, 2026 (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required to the Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) that encompassed multiple NIGP codes.
