NIGP 82525: Dehorners

NIGP 82525 Dehorners, an Item code, covers handheld and powered cutting implements used to remove horns from livestock during agricultural operations. State and local governments procure dehorners primarily through county extension offices, agricultural departments, and special districts supporting veterinary services and animal husbandry programs. The code encompasses both manual dehorning tools and electric or gas-powered devices used by farmers, ranchers, and veterinary professionals to manage cattle, goats, and sheep. Purchasing bodies sourcing this equipment include county agricultural agencies, state departments of agriculture, and rural cooperative purchasing organizations that maintain inventories for loan or resale to farm operators.

The source provides no recent state or local solicitations for dehorning equipment. Without posted opportunities in the most-recent state and local contract opportunities block, current market activity under this Item code cannot be characterized by geography, issuing-body frequency, or representative procurement actions. Organizations pursuing this code should monitor county-level agricultural procurement channels and state department of agriculture purchasing schedules, particularly in regions with significant cattle ranching and dairy operations.
