UNSPSC 10141610: Muzzles

UNSPSC 10141610 Muzzles is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure muzzles and related animal control and shelter equipment under this code, but recent solicitation activity shows the code being applied inconsistently to broader animal services and housing procurement. Of the opportunities tagged with this code in the past three months, most do not involve muzzles directly; instead, the recent record reflects purchases of cat carriers, cat litter, cat condos and towers, dog and cat beds, kennel doors, and animal housing equipment by county animal care divisions, municipal animal control departments, and school district security programs. The actual work being solicited ranges from specialized veterinary-grade shelter housing to commodity supplies like cat litter and cardboard carriers. Issuing bodies include county animal services departments (Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, Broward County Animal Care Division, Harris County Public Health Services Office), municipal animal control agencies (City of Fort Worth Animal Care and Control), and school district security operations (Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District for K-9 supplies and services). The code shows activity primarily in Florida (Hillsborough County, Broward County, Harris County, Pasco County) and Texas (Fort Worth, Los Fresnos in Cameron County), with additional municipal procurement from Philadelphia.

Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00149 for cat condos and towers (due March 31, 2026, estimated at $350,000.00), Broward County's procurement for dog beds, cat beds, and accessories through competitive quotation (due May 22, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0179 for animal housing equipment including kennel doors and cat condos (due May 21, 2026, with 30 percent small business participation goal for vendors in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County), and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District's RFP 262708 for police, security, and K-9 supplies and services on an IDIQ basis (due April 8, 2026, with contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027). Hillsborough County also issued ITQ-26-00305 for cardboard pet carriers flat-packed to 17×12×8 inches with 70 percent recycled content and printed text, estimated at $43,200.00 over two years (quote due July 2, 2026). The mismatch between the code name and recent opportunity scope suggests the code is being used as a catch-all for animal shelter and control supply procurement rather than for muzzles specifically; vendors pursuing this code should expect inquiries rooted in broader animal services supply rather than muzzle equipment alone.
