UNSPSC 42121509 Veterinary clinical thermometers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a broader scope than its nominal title suggests—solicitations under this code are actually buying comprehensive veterinary pharmaceutical and clinical supplies for animal shelters, including oral medications, formulations, and ancillary clinic materials rather than thermometers alone. County and regional animal shelter authorities are the primary issuing bodies, procuring supplies to support ongoing shelter operations through competitive bid vehicles. These purchases typically require vendors to establish online ordering and electronic tracking systems, maintain firm pricing for initial contract periods, and deliver within two weeks of order placement with specified shelf-life and packaging requirements.

Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Texas posted the most recent relevant opportunity—IFB 26IFB24 for Pharmaceuticals and Clinic Supplies, due April 23, 2026—seeking qualified vendors to supply veterinary pharmaceuticals including Amantadine, Amoxicillin capsules and suspensions, and combination formulations with Free on Board destination pricing and delivery via UPS or FedEx. The initial contract term is one year from award with optional 12-month extensions up to 36 months total, and bidders must meet Texas anti-boycott compliance, carry $1,000,000/$2,000,000 commercial general liability coverage, and submit references demonstrating recent relevant experience. No specific set-aside designations are identified, though Williamson County applies a local preference policy favoring bidders with principal place of business in the county if their bid is within three percent of the lowest. The source shows activity limited to this single recent Texas opportunity; no other state or local jurisdictions appear in the available recent opportunities block.
