UNSPSC 10102000: Wild animals

UNSPSC 10102000 Wild animals is a Class code under which state and local governments procure live laboratory animals and related products for educational and instructional use. Recent solicitations show the code is being used primarily to source laboratory animals—such as frogs, mice, or other specimens—and associated supplies for use in public school science curricula, rather than for wildlife management or animal control services. The buying base spans school districts, educational service centers, and municipal parks departments seeking animals for operational or educational purposes.

Educational Service Center Region 4 (ESC 4) in Texas posted an ITB on August 17, 2026, for a master order cooperative purchasing contract providing live laboratory animals and related products at discount from list prices, with proposals due August 31, 2026. The contract serves public school districts, charter schools, and educational service centers throughout Texas, with pricing structured as percentage discounts from list and individual purchases made by participating districts according to their instructional needs. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas based on recent postings; the code shows limited recent activity outside that state. Beyond the ESC 4 solicitation, the recent-opportunities block contains no other substantive procurement records under this code—a relocation notice from Williamson County Purchasing and test submissions are not actionable opportunities.
