FAQ
What work fits NAICS 424520?
- Purchase and resell cattle or other livestock under contract, coordinating lot sizing, delivery windows, and livestock traceability.
- Provide brokered bulk livestock shipments with transportation coordination, load-out at seller yards, and delivery documentation including health certificates.
- Manage inventory records by lot, provide quarantine and pre-shipment health inspections documentation, and coordinate feedlot staging prior to delivery.
- Offer warranty pass-throughs or replacement terms for animals with documented health issues identified on delivery, and process returns per contract terms.
When is NAICS 424520 a weak fit?
- Animal production and breeding farms: missing raising, breeding, and long-term husbandry that define primary producers rather than merchant wholesalers.
- Live-animal transport-only contractors that only provide hauling without purchasing or reselling livestock: missing merchant purchase and resale activity.
- Veterinary services or herd health management contracts: missing wholesale procurement/resale and inventory resale responsibilities.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 424520?
- Solicitation specifies purchase orders for livestock by headcount or weight, requires seller to hold title until delivery, and requests lot-level traceability.
- Contract terms require veterinary health certificates, pre-shipment inspections, quarantine documentation, and certified origin documentation attached to delivery manifests.
- Evaluations reference past performance for bulk livestock sourcing, logistics for multi-head deliveries, and accuracy of inventory and lot reporting.
