UNSPSC 10131605: Animal transport cage

Animal transport cages

UNSPSC 10131605 Animal transport cage is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure kennel systems, enclosure panels, and specialized animal containment vehicles for police, animal control, and public safety operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity spanning outdoor kennel facility construction, custom replacement panels for existing kennel systems, and fully outfitted animal control transport vans with integrated temperature-controlled compartments and secure cage assemblies. The mix of issuing bodies includes municipal animal control departments, county public safety agencies, and city police departments, reflecting distributed procurement across local government service lines rather than centralized state purchasing. Work scopes range from turnkey pre-engineered metal building construction with foundation engineering to equipment-level replacements and vehicle customization, indicating both capital infrastructure projects and operational asset acquisition under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with three substantive opportunities posted between July and October 2026. The City of Greenville, Texas posted an RFP (due November 2, 2026) for Phase 1 outdoor kennels construction—a pre-engineered metal structure with eight kennel bays, concrete work to ACI standards, and all-inclusive pricing on a single line-item basis. The City of Sandy Springs Police Department pursued a sole-source procurement for Midmark Shor-Line K9 kennel top panel enclosures valued at $6,021.33 (public challenge deadline September 8, 2026), limited to the manufacturer's proprietary panels for integration with existing systems. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB (due August 18, 2026) for three animal control vans with an estimated contract value of $270,000, specifying medium-roof cargo vans equipped with insulated, temperature-controlled cage compartments, LED lighting, inverter systems, and drain infrastructure for washout operations.
