UNSPSC 41102601: Laboratory cages for small animals

UNSPSC 41102601 Laboratory cages for small animals (Commodity) covers animal housing infrastructure and kennel systems that state and local governments procure for shelters, animal control facilities, and research or medical settings. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for purpose-built cat and dog kennels, modular cage systems with specialized materials (stainless steel, polycarbonate doors, ventilation), and integrated shelter infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipal animal services departments, and transit authorities managing animal-related facilities. Habersham County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida have posted RFPs and ITBs for comprehensive kennel and cat condo procurement, reflecting a mix of new-facility buildout and equipment replacement across local jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County's March 2026 ITB for cat condos and towers (Solicitation ITB2600149, due March 31, 2026) sought three Shor-line Feline Comfort Suite cat condos and Midmark cat towers with polycarbonate doors and stainless steel components, estimated at $350,000.00, requiring delivery and installation within 60 days. Habersham County's April 2026 RFP for animal shelter kennels (Solicitation PE66800NONST2026000000025, due May 13, 2026) specified design, procurement, construction, and installation of stainless steel cat cages and dog kennels for an approximately 18,000 square-foot facility, with a mandatory virtual pre-bid meeting on April 28, 2026. Both procurements required sealed or online submission, three project references, and proof of insurance; neither imposed set-aside restrictions. The code shows limited current activity overall; most recent solicitations tagged to this code involve broader animal care services or facility construction rather than cage systems specifically.
