NIGP 96703: Animal Food Manufacturing Services

NIGP 96703 Animal Food Manufacturing Services, an Item code, covers animal feed products and pet clinic supplies that state and local governments procure to support animal care, welfare, and veterinary operations. Recent solicitations show county governments buying bagged or bulk feed for animal shelter and care operations, alongside ancillary pet clinic supplies such as pharmaceutical items and medical consumables. The issuing bodies are county-level jurisdictions — specifically county animal care services divisions and county public health offices — rather than state departments or municipalities.

Activity centers on California counties. Solano County issued IFB 325-0910-25 on September 10, 2024, for animal feed products with a due date of September 26, 2024, requiring electronic submission through OpenGov e-procurement; Harris County Public Health Services Office issued an ITB for pet clinic supplies and related items posted July 3, 2026, with proposals due July 27, 2026. Both procurements specify standard terms including F.O.B. destination delivery, insurance and hazardous-materials compliance, and vendor liability for replacement procurement if goods are rejected. No dollar values or set-asides are identified in the available records.
