About NIGP 32525
NIGP 32525 Dog and Cat Food, an Item code, covers commercially manufactured companion animal nutrition products—dog food, cat food, and optional small-animal or rabbit food—procured by state and local animal shelters, police canine units, and other animal-care facilities to support daily feeding operations. State and local governments buy this code primarily through animal-services departments within counties and cities, with recent solicitations showing activity from Sacramento County, San Antonio, Philadelphia, Solano County, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg. The scope spans mainstream dry kibble and wet foods meeting AAFCO nutrient profiles and WSAVA guidelines, with vendors expected to deliver weekly (often twice-weekly) and maintain high on-time and fill-rate performance. Recent opportunities emphasize nutritional compliance, reliable supply chains, multiple-category product breadth, and authorized distribution of branded lines; some solicitations include prescription-diet requirements for animals with medical needs.
Activity concentrates in California and Texas, with secondary presence in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include Sacramento County's multiple-award, best-value RFP (2026RFP0087, response due September 18, 2026) soliciting dog, cat, rabbit, and small-animal food for Bradshaw Animal Shelter's 400-animal population under a one-year term with four one-year renewal options, featuring a 5% local-business preference and participation in the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) cooperative vehicle; the City of San Antonio Police Department's annual dog-food contract (RFO 6100019859, response due September 4, 2026) for its canine unit; and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control's shelter food supply contract (2692026237, response due June 24, 2026) supporting 12,000 animals annually across two facilities. Philadelphia has issued multiple micro-purchases for dog food and treats under $45,000 caps with one-time or annual renewal terms and lowest-price award criteria. Solano County issued an IFB for animal feed products (IFB 325-0910-25) under electronic submission only. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer; Sacramento County applies local and micro-business preferences, while Philadelphia encourages LGBTQ-owned business participation through optional data forms.
