NIGP 82509: Boots, Hoof, Animal

NIGP 82509 Boots, Hoof, Animal is an Item code that represents specialized footwear and protective equipment for livestock and working animals. State and local governments procure horse shoes, hoof boots, protective animal footwear, and related farrier supplies under this code, primarily for use by animal control departments, county extension services, municipal parks departments managing public animal facilities, and regional equestrian and agricultural programs. The code captures both routine hoof maintenance consumables and specialized protective gear deployed across municipal stables, county fairgrounds, and public lands where horses and pack animals support official operations or public programming.

The source does not contain a record of recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 82509. Without posted solicitations, issuing bodies, notice types, or response dates to reference, characterization of current market activity, geographic concentration, or representative recent work is not supported. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles serving agricultural and animal-management functions within state and local systems and track activity from county extension offices and municipal parks and public-lands agencies that operate animal facilities or farrier services.
