Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services

The NAICS code 812910 encompasses Pet Care services excluding veterinary care, focusing on a range of specialized animal handling, training, boarding, and support services. These services include animal kenneling, training, transportation, grooming, and maintenance of specialized facilities for working animals such as military, law enforcement, and border security canines. The services often involve comprehensive care including housing, feeding, veterinary support, and operational training for animals used in critical government missions.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly feature kenneling and training services for federal agencies like Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of Justice, and U.S. Special Operations Command. Contract values typically range from $10,000 to $2.6 million, with performance periods spanning one to five years. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses like Amynta Kennels, The Pawington, LLC, and Gk9Pg-Aviation Services, with many contracts set aside for small businesses, women-owned businesses, and veteran-owned businesses. Common funding agencies include DHS, DOJ, and the Department of State, with primary performance locations across the United States, particularly in border states and military installations.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code include solicitations for specialized canine services such as kenneling, training, equipment procurement, and maintenance. Notable opportunities include CBP's requirements for commercial kennel facilities in locations like Detroit, Las Vegas, and Atlanta, and the Department of State's international procurement of K9 equipment and veterinary supplies for Colombia. These opportunities consistently emphasize small business participation, comprehensive service requirements including 24/7 access, specialized facility specifications, and support for critical government operations involving working animals.
