NIGP 04009: Cats, All Types (Pets)

NIGP 04009 Cats, All Types (Pets), an Item code, addresses state and local procurement of cats and related pet acquisitions for government operations. Recent opportunities show limited solicitation activity under this code; the single substantive recent opportunity reflects animal-shelter operations purchasing animal food to support populations that include cats alongside dogs and other domesticated species.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control (CMACC) in North Carolina posted an RFQ for its Shelter Food Supply Program (solicitation 2692026237, due June 24, 2026), seeking nutritionally appropriate animal food for approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities, of which 33 percent are cats. The solicitation covers reliable, consistent, and cost-effective food products supporting daily operations at both the Byrum Drive and Toomey Avenue locations in Charlotte. Beyond this single identified opportunity, recent NIGP 04009 activity does not surface other state, county, city, or transit-authority procurement notices; issuing-body mix and geographic concentration cannot be characterized from the available source material.
