NIGP 04095: Wildlife and Pet Bands, Labels and Tags (Not Electronic)

NIGP 04095 Wildlife And Pet Bands, Labels And Tags (Not Electronic) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure identification and tracking tags for wildlife management, aquaculture, and transportation operations. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized tagging systems: the Michigan Department of Natural Resources posted an RFP for Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags for hatchery operations in three size specifications (Mini 10 12mm, APT 12, and HPT9 9mm), and Sacramento County issued an RFP for airport bag tags and thermal boarding pass stock on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle. The scope spans both biological tracking infrastructure and operational labeling products, with state natural-resource agencies and airport authorities as primary buyers. Issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, and cooperative purchasing groups serving multiple jurisdictions.

Michigan's Marquette Hatchery PIT tags solicitation (RFP7512600000027111, due October 22, 2026) is a five-year supply contract with annual quantities of 1,600 Mini 10 units, 4,500 APT 12 units, and 750 HPT9 units, requiring pre-loaded trays and pricing that covers all costs including setup, shipping, handling, per-piece pricing, and palletizing. Sacramento County's bag-tag RFP (SCoPA cooperative, initial two-year period with three optional one-year extensions) will issue contracts by line item and does not guarantee minimum purchases; any awarded vendor's contract is available to all SCoPA-eligible governmental, educational, and nonprofit participants. Recent activity centers on the Upper Midwest and California, with opportunities spanning wildlife management and ground and air transportation sectors.
