NIGP 87595: Recycled Veterinary Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 87595 Recycled Veterinary Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses veterinary drugs, medications, medical supplies, and animal healthcare products that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis to support animal services, shelters, and public health clinics. Recent solicitations show demand for vaccines, syringes, needles, sutures, anesthetic drugs, euthanasia solutions, and hospital supplies delivered within tight timeframes — typically two business days from order receipt. Issuing bodies include county animal services departments and county public health offices, which operate high-volume impound and clinic operations serving thousands of animals annually. The code sees activity from general-purpose county governments with dedicated animal services functions, suggesting procurement is concentrated among jurisdictions with established animal control or public health veterinary operations rather than distributed across smaller municipalities or special-purpose districts.

Pinellas County Government and Harris County Public Health Services Office represent the geographic footprint captured in recent opportunities, both in Texas and Florida respectively. Pinellas County's ITB 260718, posted September 24, 2026 with response due the same date, solicited veterinary drugs and supplies for its Animal Services Department serving over 10,000 impounded animals annually, with an estimated annual budget of $25,000 and a projected 36-month contract value of $75,000 commencing January 25, 2027; vendors must demonstrate three years of prior experience, provide four professional references, and satisfy three mandatory Florida-specific compliance affidavits covering alien transportation, foreign ownership, and human trafficking. Harris County Public Health Services Office's ITB 260161, posted July 3, 2026 with response due July 27, 2026, solicited pet clinic supplies and related items with minimal scope detail publicly available. Both procurements require pricing quoted as discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail price with firm pricing throughout the contract term.
