NIGP 87530: Frozen Semen

NIGP 87530 Frozen Semen is an Item code under which state and local governments procure veterinary and animal-husbandry services tied to livestock and animal breeding operations. Recent solicitations show actual work spanning spay/neuter surgical services for municipal animal control, embryo procurement for state agricultural programs, and related veterinary diagnostics and treatment — scope considerably narrower than the code name alone suggests. Issuing bodies include county animal-control departments and state education or agriculture agencies procuring these services on an as-needed basis. The work typically requires vendors to hold professional licensure (veterinary credentials in the case of animal-control contracts), carry substantial insurance coverage including professional liability, and demonstrate prior experience with high-volume surgical procedures or breeding-stock operations.

Pinal County, Arizona posted RFP 264131 in May 2026 seeking veterinary services for animal control throughout the county, with proposals due June 5, 2026; the contract runs through June 2027 with four optional one-year renewals and requires vendors to maintain an office within 150 miles of the county and hold current Arizona veterinary licensure plus a minimum of five years of spay/neuter experience. The Texas Education Agency posted solicitation IW245630 in late March 2026 with a March 31, 2026 deadline for embryo procurement, applying a weighted evaluation methodology across pricing, technical capability, and organizational experience. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona and Texas based on these recent postings, with no signals of broader state-level activity across other regions in the available opportunities block.
