NIGP 49595: Zoology Specimens, Live and Injected

NIGP 49595 Zoology Specimens, Live And Injected is an Item code covering the procurement of live animals and preserved specimens used in educational, research, and diagnostic settings by state and local government agencies. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase live animals for classroom dissection labs, research programs, and veterinary training; preserved or injected specimens for anatomy instruction and pathology study; and related specimen preparation and delivery services. Issuing bodies include state universities and community colleges with biology, veterinary medicine, and health sciences programs; state departments of education supporting high school science curricula; and public health laboratories. The code sees limited but recurring activity concentrated among post-secondary educational institutions with formal life-sciences programs.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under this code. Activity under NIGP 49595 appears episodic and institution-specific, driven by academic program cycles and curriculum refresh rather than continuous procurement demand.
