UNSPSC 10131700: Animal habitats

UNSPSC 10131700 Animal habitats is a Class code covering aquatic and terrestrial containment systems, equipment, and related supplies that state and local governments and educational institutions purchase for research, animal care, and operational facilities. State and local buyers under this code include public universities, municipal parks and recreation departments, fish and wildlife conservation agencies, and municipal facility operators. The work being solicited ranges from modular aquatic raceways with temperature control and integrated filtration systems to animal bedding products, installation services, and ongoing equipment maintenance supporting biological research and equestrian operations.

Recent opportunities span three states and show activity from university research procurement, state wildlife agencies, and municipal recreation authorities. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an RFB (2026-UWMSN-01372-RFB) due July 23, 2026, for aquatic containment systems, related supplies, installation, and maintenance. The University of Mississippi conducted a sole-source procurement in June 2026 for two Frigid Units, Inc. LS-700 Living Stream Tanks with integrated chillers totaling $21,961, used for freshwater invertebrate research. The City of Scottsdale issued an IFB (26IFB052) due March 27, 2026, for equine-grade wood shavings in compressed bags—280,000 cubic feet annually—for the WestWorld Equestrian Center, with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued an ITB for fund management services tied to a Panther Payment for Ecosystem Services program affecting 17 counties, with an estimated budget of $960,000; the ITB was withdrawn after receiving fewer than two responsive bids and converted to an exceptional purchase under Florida Statutes section 287.057(6).
