UNSPSC 10131605: Animal transport cage

Animal transport cages

UNSPSC 10131605 Animal transport cage (Commodity) covers animal housing and containment equipment that state and local governments procure for shelters, animal control facilities, and transit or boarding operations. Recent solicitations show demand for stainless steel kennels and cages, pre-fabricated cat condos and towers, and comprehensive kennel systems for new shelter construction, alongside ongoing boarding and kenneling services that rely on cage infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county animal control departments, city shelters and animal welfare agencies, and specialized facilities such as pet resource centers. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with activity concentrated in counties and municipalities with dedicated animal services operations.

Habersham County Board of Commissioners (Clarkesville, Georgia) issued an RFP in April 2026 for design, construction, and installation of stainless steel cat cages and dog kennels across multiple areas of a new 18,000-square-foot animal shelter facility, with proposals due May 13, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Tampa, Florida) solicited bids through an ITB in March 2026 for purchase, assembly, and installation of three Shor-line Feline Comfort Suite cat condos and Midmark 87-inch cat towers at the Pet Resource Center, with an estimated project value of $350,000 and bids due March 31, 2026. The City of Windcrest, Texas issued an RFP for animal care and boarding/kenneling services in January 2026 for facility operations serving up to 180-day holding periods, indicating ongoing cage and containment utilization in shelter operations. Repeat municipal demand for animal housing infrastructure and supportive services suggests sustained procurement activity in this commodity space.
