NIGP 04058: Hibernation Boxes (Butterfly, Ladybug, etc.)

NIGP 04058 Hibernation Boxes (Butterfly, Ladybug, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses specialized containment and habitat products designed to support insect dormancy cycles—primarily butterfly and ladybug hibernation boxes used by state and local environmental programs, schools, parks departments, and botanical institutions. The code captures seasonal or year-round housing solutions that facilitate controlled hibernation conditions for beneficial insects, typically as part of pollinator conservation, integrated pest management, or environmental education initiatives. State and local governments procure these boxes for deployment across municipal parks, school gardens, county extension offices, and natural-resource management facilities.

The available records provide no substantive recent procurement opportunities under this Item code. The sole entry in the most-recent-opportunities block is an administrative relocation notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department (posted July 14, 2026, with a notice close date of August 15, 2026) announcing a departmental office move and containing no contract scope, deliverables, timeline, or evaluation criteria. Activity under NIGP 04058 does not surface in current state and local solicitation databases at a volume sufficient to characterize issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative buying patterns.
