NIGP 32552: Mixed Feed, All Types (Includes Feed for Poultry, Deer, etc.)

NIGP 32552 Mixed Feed, All Types (Item) encompasses procurement of animal feed, hay, shavings, and related supplements for state and local livestock operations, correctional facilities, parks departments, and equestrian facilities. State and local governments use this code to source finished mixed feeds formulated for specific animal populations (poultry, swine, cattle, equines), bagged and bulk commodities (hay, cottonseed hulls, corn), bedding materials, and vitamin or mineral supplements. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing feeds with detailed guaranteed-analysis specifications (crude protein, fat, fiber, mineral thresholds), hay graded to quality standards, starter and grower basemix formulations for nursery and growing swine, and bulk liquid feeds. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Department of Public Safety), county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia), and municipal authorities (City of Conyers, Georgia). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts appears as a repeat buyer, managing statewide procurement for state agencies.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued two recent IFBs for animal feed, vitamins, and supplements—IFB 304T-26-325M2.1 posted May 27, 2026 (with response due the same day) and IFB 304T-27-325M2.2 posted September 1, 2026 with response due September 24, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time, both supporting TDCJ and DPS operations across multiple facilities with line items including hay, starter and grower basemix for pigs, cottonseed hulls, corn, cattle mineral supplements, and bulk liquid feed. DeKalb County posted an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings to Little Creek Horse Farm (ITB 2026-085-ITB, due July 23, 2026) as a three-year contract with two one-year options, requiring one-calendar-day delivery. The City of Conyers issued an RFP for equine waste removal, shavings sales, and feed sales at Georgia International Horse Park (due August 27, 2026), offering the contractor an exclusive right to sell hay, feed, and shavings in exchange for stall cleaning and manure removal services on a ten-year initial term. State contracts typically include firm unit-rate pricing, FOB Destination terms with shipping and fuel surcharges included, and annual price adjustments tied to commodity indices or Bureau of Labor Statistics farm-product data.
