NIGP 54078: Sawdust and Shavings

NIGP 54078 Sawdust and Shavings is an Item code that captures materials state and local governments procure for animal bedding, landscaping amendments, dust control, and related operational uses. The scope of work under this code centers on bulk or packaged sawdust and wood shavings sourced from mills, processors, or distributors and supplied to departments managing animal facilities, grounds maintenance, public works operations, and similar functions. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments, county facilities management operations, city public works bureaus, school districts managing equestrian or animal-care programs, and transit authorities operating maintenance yards. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also post solicitations that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions, expanding the potential vendor reach.
