UNSPSC 10130000: Animal containment and habitats

UNSPSC 10130000 Animal containment and habitats (Family) encompasses kennels, animal shelter housing systems, and boarding facilities that state and local governments procure to house and care for animals in municipal custody. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing specialized kennel systems (stainless steel cat cages and dog kennels with medical isolation capabilities), kennel boarding services for municipal animal shelters, cat condos and towers for adoption centers, and animal care services including food, supplies, and temporary holding infrastructure. The work spans design-build kennel construction, supply of pre-manufactured housing units, boarding service contracts, and ancillary animal-care consumables such as specialty dog food and bedding. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city animal control departments, county correction agencies operating K-9 units, municipal animal shelters and adoption centers, and transit authorities maintaining animal-care facilities.

Recent activity spans multiple states with significant procurement in Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Connecticut, Texas, and Massachusetts.
