UNSPSC 10131601: Cages or its accessories

UNSPSC 10131601 Cages or its accessories is a Commodity code that covers animal housing and containment infrastructure, including kennels, cat condos, cat towers, and associated specialized enclosure systems procured by state and local governments for animal shelters, control facilities, and other animal care operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are purchasing prefabricated and custom-fabricated cage and kennel systems, stainless steel fixtures, polycarbonate doors, ventilation components, and installation services to support both new shelter construction and upgrades to existing animal care facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city departments, and animal services agencies, with activity concentrated among county-level procurement offices and municipal animal shelter programs seeking specialized animal housing infrastructure for intake, adoption, isolation, and medical holding operations.

The code shows recent activity primarily in the Southeast, with solicitations posted by Habersham County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the City of Windcrest (Texas). Habersham County's RFP (PE66800NONST2026000000025), posted April 7, 2026, with a May 13, 2026 proposal deadline, seeks design, construction, and installation of stainless steel cat cages and dog kennels for an approximately 18,000 square-foot animal shelter facility, including adoption, intake, isolation, and bite hold units. Hillsborough County's Invitation to Bid ITB-26-00149, posted March 5, 2026, with a March 31, 2026 deadline, requested a one-time purchase, assembly, and installation of Shor-line and Midmark cat condos and towers for its Pet Resource Center, estimated at $350,000.00. The City of Windcrest's animal care and boarding RFP, posted January 22, 2026, also reflects ongoing kenneling infrastructure investment, though the scope there encompasses both facilities and services for animal holding rather than equipment purchase alone. Response dates and issuing bodies show moderate geographic dispersion with no dominant repeat buyer across the sample reviewed.
