UNSPSC 10131600: Animal containment

UNSPSC 10131600 Animal containment is a Class code covering the design, construction, and procurement of structures and equipment used to house, confine, or secure animals in municipal and county facilities. State and local governments solicit under this code for outdoor kennel construction, kennel enclosure panels and components, animal control transport vehicles with integrated cage assemblies, and related containment infrastructure supporting animal control, police K9 units, and shelter operations. The issuing bodies are typically city and county government departments — animal control divisions, police departments with K9 units, and county commissioners — rather than school districts or transit authorities. Recent opportunities show a mix of capital construction (building kennels from the ground up), equipment replacement (custom panel enclosures for existing systems), and vehicle procurement with specialized animal-transport interiors.

The recent activity spans Texas (Greenville, Sandy Springs, and Hillsborough County), Arizona (Tempe), with the most visible opportunities concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. The City of Greenville, Texas posted an RFP for Phase 1 outdoor kennels construction (101 feet by 50 feet pre-engineered metal building with eight kennel bays) with responses due November 2, 2026, structured as an all-inclusive not-to-exceed fee with potential second and third-year extension. The City of Sandy Springs Police Department pursued a sole-source procurement for custom Midmark Shor-Line K9 kennel top panel enclosures (estimated cost $6,021.33) due September 8, 2026, tied to an existing kennel system at their facility. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for three animal control vans (estimated value $270,000) with delivery within 365 days, each equipped with insulated, temperature-controlled animal compartments, LED corner lights, and integrated storage. Activity is recent and recurring across multiple jurisdictions, suggesting steady demand for both infrastructure and operational equipment in animal control and law enforcement K9 operations.
