NIGP 82508: Blankets, Livestock

NIGP 82508 Blankets, Livestock is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized coverings and protective blankets designed for horses, cattle, and other farm animals. The scope spans thermal blankets for temperature regulation, waterproof or water-resistant turnout blankets for outdoor protection, stable blankets for indoor use, and cooler blankets for post-exercise cooling. State and local buyers include county agricultural extension offices, state veterinary departments, public animal shelters, municipal pounds, agricultural colleges and universities, and state fair operations that maintain livestock on behalf of educational or public-service missions.

No recent state and local procurement opportunities under NIGP 82508 appear in the available source records. Activity in this code remains sparse relative to higher-volume livestock-supply categories, making it a low-visibility procurement area at the state and local level.
