UNSPSC 42121500: Veterinary equipment

In this classification, this class includes medical equipment, instruments, and appliances used in the medical treatment of animals.

UNSPSC 42121500 Veterinary equipment is a Class code covering portable diagnostic imaging systems, ultrasound machines, radiography equipment, and associated software and maintenance services that state and local animal control, shelter, and zoo operations procure for on-site diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a mix of equipment purchases and service contracts, with county animal services and city shelter operations as primary buyers. Collier County, Florida is procuring a portable X-ray radiography system (MinXray Enduras Wireless with digital detector and cloud storage) for its Domestic Animal Services through a notice of intent to single source (PUR19814, due August 3, 2026), while the County of San Mateo issued two IFBs for veterinary supplies and equipment (IFB 2026-IFB-00592 and IFB 2026-IFB-00553, both posted July 2, 2026) covering medications, diagnostics, and treatment supplies on a three-year as-needed basis. The Louisville Zoo and Fort Worth's animal shelter also solicited specialized equipment—the Louisville Zoo sought Edgelife ultrasound systems and iM3 radiography machines (both posted April 14, 2026)—while Fort Worth's Code Compliance Department requested preventive maintenance services for anesthesia and medical equipment (RFQt 26-0110, posted February 11, 2026).

Geographic activity spans Florida, California, North Carolina, Arizona, Kentucky, and Texas, with the heaviest recent concentration in California and Florida. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Collier County, San Mateo County, Pinal County), city departments (Fort Worth Code Compliance), and independent zoo operations (Louisville Zoo operating under Kentucky state authority). Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's single-source notice for portable X-ray equipment with a five-year contract term running through August 2031; San Mateo County's IFBs for three-year veterinary supply agreements with 71 line items of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and consumables requiring three-business-day delivery; Pinal County's RFP for on-site veterinary services covering examination, surgery, vaccination, and emergency care (due June 5, 2026); North Carolina's brand-specific solicitation for a Mindray ultrasound system (due June 29, 2026); and Fort Worth's RFQt for annual preventive maintenance and calibration of anesthesia and medical equipment at two shelter facilities (due February 20, 2026). No repeat patterns of specific set-asides emerged across the recent opportunities, though San Mateo County reserves the right to apply local business preference ordinances and Fort Worth references its Small Business Program.
