UNSPSC 41102613: Research animal physiological test kit

Test kit used for the purpose of measurement of biophysical and biochemical analytes in animals in a bioresearch laboratory

UNSPSC 41102613 Research animal physiological test kit is a Commodity code that state and local governments are currently purchasing as animal feed products and pet clinic supplies to support animal care operations. The recent solicitations show that this code is being applied to procurements for feed, care supplies, and related items used by county animal services divisions and public health offices rather than research-grade physiological testing kits. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments with dedicated animal care or public health functions, specifically Solano County and Harris County.

Recent activity centers on California counties. Solano County issued IFB 325-0910-25 on September 10, 2024, for animal feed products with a September 26, 2024 bid deadline, seeking supplies to support its Animal Care Services Division through electronic submission via OpenGov; Harris County Public Health Services Office posted an ITB for pet clinic supplies and related items with a July 27, 2026 response date. The code shows limited recent activity and a mismatch between its nominal scope—research animal physiological test kits—and what counties are actually buying under it, which appears to be general animal care and feed commodities for operational animal welfare functions rather than specialized research equipment.
