UNSPSC 10131508: Pet beds

UNSPSC 10131508 Pet beds (Commodity) covers durable animal bedding products for institutional and operational use, grounded in what state and local governments are actively procuring for animal welfare facilities, equine operations, and farm management. The solicitations show demand for specialized, heavy-duty bedding — chew-proof aluminum dog beds rated for large animals, stall management supplies for horse facilities, and hay and shavings for farm operations. Issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, municipal governments, and regional authorities that operate animal shelters, horse parks, and farm facilities. The work focuses on direct procurement of finished bedding products and related animal husbandry supplies, with vendors required to meet specific durability and material standards (such as Kuranda-equivalent construction or medium-blend wood shavings) and deliver on tight schedules to operational sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Gwinnett County issuing an informal written quotation for 175 chew-proof aluminum dog beds (40 x 25 inches) and 25 beds (35 x 23 inches) for the Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center, due August 25, 2026; the City of Conyers posting an RFP for equine waste removal, shavings, hay, and feed sales coordination at the Georgia International Horse Park, due August 27, 2026, with a ten-year initial contract term; and DeKalb County issuing an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings supply to Little Creek Horse Farm under a three-year contract with two one-year options, due July 23, 2026. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Texas solicited veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies through an IFB due April 23, 2026, indicating demand extends to supply-chain contracting alongside bedding products. Responses to quotations and bids are typically due within one to four weeks of posting, with delivery requirements ranging from next-day to two-week standard timelines.
