NIGP 94563: Processing Services, Wild Game (Fowl, Deer, Elk, etc.)

NIGP 94563 Processing Services, Wild Game (Fowl, Deer, Elk, Etc.), Item code, encompasses the licensing, permitting, and regulatory management systems that state and local wildlife agencies deploy to administer hunting, fishing, trapping, and related outdoor recreation programs. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows state procurement offices buying integrated digital licensing platforms that handle hunt applications, tag draws, revenue processing, customer service, law enforcement integration, and volunteer program management rather than direct wild game processing or butchering services. The issuing bodies are primarily state wildlife departments and their purchasing divisions, which use the code to procure the administrative and technology infrastructure underlying their licensing operations.

The Nevada State Purchasing Division on behalf of the Nevada Department of Wildlife posted solicitation 72DOWS3941 in July 2026 for a new integrated licensing and registration system, with proposals due September 14, 2026 (later clarified as September 16 in the scope summary) and a questions deadline of August 25, 2026. The Nevada system will support approximately 1.45 million customer records, 249,205 vessel records, and 2,700 authorized users across hunt applications, volunteer management for roughly 9,000 instructors, tag draws with random-number generation, revenue processing for 40 statewide point-of-sale agents, mobile app development with offline capability, e-tag validation with harvest questionnaire integration, and law enforcement field applications. The estimated total investment is $12 million across fiscal years 2028–2033, with annual contract costs of $2 million. Implementation is staged across four phases from August 2027 through 2033. Nevada-based businesses qualify for a 5% preference under NRS 333.3351 to 333.3356, and vendor presentations are scheduled for September 28–October 12, 2026, with notice of award estimated for November 25, 2026.
