NIGP 32508: Bedding (All Types)

NIGP 32508 Bedding (All Types), an Item code, covers specialized animal and equine bedding products that state and local governments procure for animal-care facilities, farms, and operational programs. Recent activity shows solicitations for chew-proof aluminum dog beds rated for large animals, wood shavings and feed for equine operations, and animal-facility bedding supplies. Issuing bodies include county purchasing divisions managing animal welfare centers, cities operating equestrian facilities, and county departments managing horse farms. The work spans procurement of manufactured bedding units with specific durability and material specifications (chew-resistant vinyl, dimensional standards, color requirements) and commoditized bulk supplies such as wood shavings and hay for operational feeding and bedding programs.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia, with three recent opportunities spanning August 2026 back to June 2026. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services Purchasing Division posted an informal written quotation (IWQ) on August 20, 2026 for 200 units of chew-proof aluminum canine beds in specified sizes and colors for delivery to the Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center, with response due August 25, 2026. DeKalb County issued ITB 2026-085-ITB on June 24, 2026 for a three-year contract with two one-year options covering feed, hay, and shavings delivery to Little Creek Horse Farm, with bids due July 23, 2026.
