UNSPSC 41102612: Research animal induction chamber

Chamber or hood used for the induction of anesthesia into animals in a bioresearch laboratory

UNSPSC 41102612 Research animal induction chamber, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The four posted opportunities—a Harris County pet clinic supplies ITB, a Habersham County animal shelter kennel design-build RFP, a Hillsborough County cat litter ITQ, and a Hillsborough County cat condo ITB—address animal facility operations, supplies, and housing infrastructure but contain no references to research animal induction chambers, anesthesia delivery systems, or research laboratory equipment. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch; the opportunities reflect operational purchasing by county health departments and animal control agencies rather than research institutions acquiring specialized laboratory apparatus.

The issuing bodies are county-level jurisdictions in Florida and Georgia with animal welfare or public health missions. Harris County Public Health Services Office, Habersham County Board of Commissioners, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners represent the geographic footprint, with activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia as of the most recent postings (March through July 2026). The largest opportunity is Hillsborough County's $350,000 cat condo and tower procurement with an ITB due March 31, 2026; the kennel design-build RFP from Habersham County (due May 13, 2026) represents construction-scale animal facility work; and routine consumable and supply purchases (cat litter, pet clinic items) round out the mix. None of these solicitations map to the stated code scope of research animal induction equipment, signaling that this code either receives minimal relevant state and local demand or is systematically mis-tagged in the procurement databases where it appears.
