UNSPSC 21101905: Livestock identification equipment

UNSPSC 21101905 Livestock identification equipment is a Commodity code that covers specialized tagging and marking systems used to track individual animals in managed settings. State and local governments procure these items primarily through state natural-resource and wildlife agencies managing fish hatcheries, wildlife breeding programs, and research facilities. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources RFP for Marquette Hatchery PIT tags exemplifies the scope: passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags supplied in pre-loaded trays for fish identification and tracking across multi-year supply contracts. Work under this code centers on procuring pre-manufactured identification hardware in bulk quantities with specified delivery, quality assurance, and pricing structures rather than custom fabrication or installation services.

The recent opportunity record shows limited state-local activity under this code. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources posted RFP 7512600000027111 on September 30, 2026, requesting proposals for Mini 10 12mm PIT tags (1,600 units annually), APT 12 tags (4,500 units annually), and HPT9 9mm tags (750 units annually) under a five-year contract term, with proposals due October 22, 2026. The solicitation requires all-inclusive pricing in modifiable format and evaluates proposals on company qualifications, experience, references, and compliance with technical and contractual requirements including delivery schedules and quality assurance standards. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the source; the remaining records in the opportunity block address unrelated procurements (airport terminal supplies and watershed-park leasing) that do not match the livestock identification equipment scope.
