NIGP 87524: Fat and Muscle Assay Equipment

NIGP 87524 Fat And Muscle Assay Equipment is an Item code that captures specialized diagnostic and measurement tools used by state and local governments to assess body composition in animals, though recent procurement activity under this code reflects a narrower actual use case. State and local veterinary programs—primarily county animal control and care facilities—solicit under this code for services and equipment supporting animal health evaluation, examination, diagnosis, and treatment protocols. The issuing bodies are primarily county-level animal control and care departments managing as-needed veterinary service contracts, with occasional activity from municipal animal services divisions. Work solicited includes comprehensive veterinary diagnostics, physical examination capacity, and ancillary testing required to support surgical planning, vaccination protocols, and treatment protocols in high-volume animal control and shelter environments.

The contract term runs June 17, 2026 through June 16, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals. No other recent state or local opportunities under this Item code are present in the source material.
