UNSPSC 10131606: Animal catching device

A device designed to safely and humanely catch or trap a live animal.

UNSPSC 10131606 Animal catching device is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure personal protective equipment and safety gear for canine units, typically police K-9 teams and animal control operations. The City of Philadelphia's June 2026 micro-purchase for canine safety kits — a two-year requirements contract with a $43,000 ceiling — illustrates the scope: protective vests, harnesses, leads, muzzles, first-aid supplies, and related equipment that keep working dogs safe during patrol, detection, and apprehension operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal police and animal control departments; the recent Philadelphia opportunity reflects the typical buyer profile for canine-unit equipment.

The source provides limited geographic and opportunity detail. The City of Philadelphia solicited canine safety kits via RFQ (micro-purchase) with a due date of June 30, 2026, requiring all-item quotation for eligibility and permitting award by line item at the City's discretion to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors must carry workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, general liability of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability of $300,000 per occurrence; submit electronically through PHLContracts; and hold an executed Consent & Authorization Agreement prior to quote closing. The City accepts LGBTQ, MBE, WBE, DSBE, and disability diversity certifications. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source.
