UNSPSC 10100000: Live animals

UNSPSC 10100000 Live animals (Family) spans procurement of live fish, birds, and other fauna for state wildlife management, mosquito control, and animal care operations. The code captures what state and local governments actually buy: live mosquitofish for residential pest control distribution, fingerling trout for aerial stocking programs, live pheasants for game-bird restock initiatives, and live carriers or habitat materials supporting animal shelters and wildlife facilities. Recent solicitations show concrete deliverables—Gambusia holbrooki mosquitofish in three size grades delivered in oxygenated bags to county mosquito divisions; approximately 9,500 ring-neck pheasants annually to state fish-and-game departments; fingerling brook trout for remote-pond stocking via helicopter; and related supplies such as cardboard pet carriers and cat litter for public animal shelters. The issuing bodies are primarily state fish-and-game departments, county public works or mosquito-control divisions, and county animal-care facilities, with Auburn University also soliciting equine podiatry services at its equine unit.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mountain West. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) has posted multiple opportunities under or adjacent to this code—mosquitofish supply (ITB-26-00227, $169,440.00 estimated, three-year term, due May 7, 2026), cardboard pet carriers (ITQ-26-00305, $43,200.00 estimated, two-year term, due July 2, 2026), and cat litter and conditioning equipment for its Pet Resources Center. The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services sought live ring-neck pheasants (BID 110-26, due March 31, 2026, approximately 9,500 birds annually) and aerial stocking services for fingerling brook trout to 43 remote ponds (RFB RFBFG202604, due March 6, 2026). Auburn University issued sealed bids for equine podiatry services including 900 trimming and filing procedures, 40 draft-horse shoeing procedures, and 20 custom-shoe construction procedures annually (AU20260001010, one-year term with four-year renewal option, due June 24, 2026). The Utah Division of Purchasing procured artificial fish habitat structures for pond and reservoir enhancement—community pond structures (RFQ BD26-72, $34,000.00, due May 13, 2026) and Jordanelle Reservoir structures (RFQ JF26-74, due May 12, 2026). A majority of posted opportunities carried response dates in March through July 2026, indicating seasonal demand tied to wildlife breeding and stocking calendars.
