NIGP 82537: Feedlots

NIGP Item 82537 Feedlots addresses the procurement of feedlot services and facilities by state and local governments, though recent state and local contract opportunities under this code are not evident in available records. Without posted solicitations or awarded contracts to reference, the scope of work, issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, and current market activity cannot be characterized from recent procurement activity.

State and local governments that manage livestock operations, agricultural extension programs, or animal-welfare facilities may use this code to procure feedlot capacity, management services, or related infrastructure, but the absence of recent postings suggests either minimal demand from state and local buyers for this service category or consolidation under related agricultural or animal-services codes. Business development professionals should verify whether target customers classify feedlot procurement under this Item or under adjacent NIGP codes such as animal husbandry services or agricultural facilities before committing resources to pursue opportunities in this space.
