NIGP 87524: Fat and Muscle Assay Equipment

NIGP 87524 Fat And Muscle Assay Equipment is an Item code under which state and local governments procure veterinary diagnostic and treatment services for animal control operations. The single recent opportunity in the source—Pinal County, Arizona's RFP 264131 for veterinary services—reflects actual procurement demand centered on animal examination, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, surgical services (including spay/neuter), vaccinations, and emergency care rather than equipment in the traditional sense. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code appear to be county animal control agencies and related public-health divisions managing companion-animal intake, care, and disposition on an as-needed basis. The work requires licensed veterinarians with demonstrable high-volume surgical experience and the ability to prescribe and dispense medications, operating from locations within defined geographic proximity to the contracting jurisdiction.

Pinal County, Arizona posted the only recent opportunity identified in the source. The RFP 264131, due June 5, 2026 (with electronic submission through the Bonfire Purchasing System by 2:00 p.m. MST on June 4, 2026), sought veterinary services on an as-required contract through June 16, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods. Vendors were required to maintain an office within 150 miles of Pinal County, hold current Arizona veterinary licensure, and carry comprehensive insurance including $1 million each in commercial general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability coverage. The evaluation committee assessed proposals on surgical and physical examination efficiency, cost, and references from three to five animal control clinics with preference for government entities. No incumbent vendor, existing infrastructure requirements, or specific budget information were disclosed.
