UNSPSC 10141612: Dog catching pole

Animal control equipment

UNSPSC 10141612 Dog catching pole is a Commodity code that captures equipment and supplies for animal control and management operations at state and local public agencies. The recent solicitations under this code show little direct alignment with the nominal product — dog catching poles themselves — and instead reflect broader animal care procurement activity. Solano County's IFB 325-0910-25 (issued September 2024, due September 26, 2024) sought animal feed products to support the county's Animal Care Services Division, with budget categories spanning animal care supplies, pharmaceutical products, and medical and dental supplies. The City of Philadelphia's micro purchase B2727387 (issued June 2024, due June 30, 2026) solicited canine safety kits under a requirements contract effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, with a micro-purchase ceiling of $43,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U. Both solicitations indicate that county and municipal animal control and shelter operations use this code to procure consumables and protective equipment rather than specialized catching or restraint tools.

Recent activity under this code spans California and Pennsylvania, with Solano County and the City of Philadelphia representing county and municipal issuing bodies respectively. The Solano County procurement required electronic submission through the OpenGov E-Procurement Platform and standard vendor insurance (workers' compensation and commercial general liability); the Philadelphia micro purchase similarly mandated electronic submission through PHLContracts and required workers' compensation and general liability coverage of at least $500,000 per occurrence. Both awards were structured to accommodate the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with Philadelphia reserving the right to award by line item. The code shows sparse recent opportunities; the two posted solicitations diverge substantially from the dog catching pole nominal scope, suggesting that state and local procurement officers may be applying this code inconsistently or that the code itself receives limited use relative to other animal care and shelter supply classifications.
