UNSPSC 41102606: Laboratory animal restraints or harnesses

UNSPSC 41102606 Laboratory animal restraints or harnesses (Commodity) covers supplies and equipment for animal care and control facilities, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of animal housing and support materials than the nominal scope suggests. State and local governments use this code to procure cat condos, kennels, litter supplies, and related animal shelter infrastructure. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments and county health departments, particularly those operating public animal shelters and pet resources centers. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has posted multiple opportunities under this code, indicating repeat procurement activity from the same jurisdiction across different animal care supply categories.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with recent opportunities posted by Hillsborough County in Tampa, Harris County Public Health Services Office in Texas, and Habersham County in Clarkesville, Georgia. Representative recent procurements include Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00149 for cat condos and towers, due March 31, 2026, with an estimated value of $350,000.00; Hillsborough County's ITQ 26-00201 for cat litter supply services, closed March 25, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $37,500.00 for one year; Habersham County's RFP PE66800NONST2026000000025 for design, construction, and installation of kennel facilities at a new animal shelter, due May 13, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on April 28, 2026; and Harris County Public Health Services Office's ITB 260161 for pet clinic supplies and related items, due July 27, 2026. County encouragement of minority-owned, female-owned, and small business participation appears in the Habersham and Hillsborough solicitations, though no mandatory set-asides are specified.
