NIGP 12045: Hatcheries, Ranches, and Other Fishery Resources

NIGP 12045 Hatcheries, Ranches, And Other Fishery Resources, an Item code, encompasses equipment procurement and operational support for fishery and aquatic resource management—including fish hatchery components, stocking supplies, marine patrol vessels and motors, and specialized fishery infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code range from state fish-and-wildlife departments and county marine patrol operations to municipal water authorities managing aquatic ecosystems. The scope spans both routine capital purchases (such as marine motors for enforcement) and specialized biological and mechanical equipment tied to hatchery operations, invasive species control, and fish management.
