UNSPSC 10102002: Live foxes

UNSPSC 10102002 Live foxes is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single substantive opportunity in the recent record is Educational Service Center, Region 4 (ESC 4) in Texas issuing 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 bids due August 31, 2026. The scope covers live laboratory animals and associated supplies and materials used in educational laboratory settings, serving public school districts, charter schools, and educational service centers throughout Texas under a collective purchasing model. Vendors must comply with applicable state procurement regulations, animal welfare requirements, and educational standards governing the use of laboratory animals in instructional settings. Pricing is structured as a discount from list prices, with specific percentage reductions to be negotiated between ESC 4 and awarded vendors; no aggregate funding amount is specified. Individual purchases are made by participating districts according to their respective budgets and instructional needs.

The code shows activity in Texas only, with the ESC 4 opportunity representing the only actionable recent solicitation. Two other records in the dataset — a test submission flagged as inactive and a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice — contain no procurement scope. A fourth record, the City of Pasadena's equestrian center operations RFP, is unrelated to live animals procurement and appears to be miscoded. The ESC 4 master order contract represents the primary vehicle for pursuing this commodity code in the state and local market; eligibility extends to all Texas public school districts, charter schools, and educational service centers participating in the cooperative purchasing arrangement.
