UNSPSC 11131600: Other animal products

UNSPSC 11131600 Other animal products is a Class code covering frozen meat and bone products, supplementary feeds, and related supplies purchased by state and local governments to support zoo operations, animal-care facilities, and public health animal clinics. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments and county-level departments managing animal welfare, public health services, and municipal facilities. The Orange County, California Zoo and DeKalb County, Georgia's Little Creek Horse Farm represent the types of end-use operations driving demand; purchases span specialized frozen diets for carnivores and raptors, bone products for enrichment and nutrition, hay, feed, and bedding materials. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods and require vendors to maintain live telephone ordering systems, guaranteed next-day or same-day delivery windows, and general liability insurance minimums in the $1 million range. Pricing is submitted on a firm, fixed-price basis for the entire contract term, with all price decreases automatically extended to the buyer.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia.
