NIGP 82565: Prodders, Shock Type

NIGP 82565 Prodders, Shock Type, an Item code, encompasses cattle prods and livestock electro-stimulation equipment that state and local governments procure for animal control, facility management, and agricultural operations. State and local buyers use these devices in county animal shelters, municipal animal-control facilities, state agricultural departments, and corrections facilities where livestock handling or behavioral management is required. The equipment typically consists of handheld electric prods designed to deliver a shock stimulus to livestock for movement or behavior modification, and buyers source them as replacement stock or during facility expansion.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities under this NIGP code, limiting visibility into current issuing-body patterns, geographic concentration, or near-term procurement activity. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices naming specific jurisdictions and response dates, no representative recent solicitations can be identified. Firms evaluating this code should monitor state agriculture departments, county animal-control offices, and municipal facilities management divisions in livestock-handling regions, but current market signals under NIGP 82565 are not visible in recent procurement records.
