UNSPSC 10141610: Muzzles

UNSPSC 10141610 Muzzles (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recorded under this code. The recent solicitations show activity in animal shelter and animal control equipment—dog and cat beds, cardboard pet carriers, animal control vans, kennel doors, cat condos, animal housing equipment, and shelter management software—none of which fall within the scope of muzzles or muzzling devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the sourced opportunities appear to be miscoded.

The issuing bodies soliciting animal shelter and control equipment span county governments (Gwinnett County, Solano County, Hillsborough County, Broward County, Pasco County, Harris County), municipalities (City of Fort Worth, City of Philadelphia, City of Tampa), and county-level animal welfare divisions. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITQ-26-00305 for cardboard pet carriers (estimated $43,200 over two years, due July 2, 2026), Fort Worth's RFP 26-0179 for animal housing equipment including kennel doors and cat condos (RFP due May 21, 2026), and Broward County's competitive quotation for dog beds, cat beds, and shelter accessories (due May 22, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough, Broward, Pasco, Solano, Harris County jurisdictions), Texas (Fort Worth, Harris County), and peripheral states. Because the code nominally covers muzzles and the recent opportunities document shelter equipment and animal control supplies instead, vendors should verify whether opportunities tagged to this code are actually relevant before responding, or seek clarification on the taxonomy assignment from individual issuing bodies.
