UNSPSC 42121600: Veterinary products

In this classification, this class includes products consumed in various veterinary based medical interactions.

UNSPSC 42121600 Veterinary products is a Class code encompassing pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medications, medical supplies, and ancillary animal healthcare products that state and local governments procure to support shelter operations, law enforcement canine units, and public health animal-care programs. The work ranges from routine supply contracts for vaccines, syringes, anesthetics, sutures, and euthanasia solutions to comprehensive veterinary service arrangements combining on-site clinical staffing, diagnostics, surgical procedures, boarding, and emergency care. Issuing bodies include municipal animal-care services (city shelter operations), county animal-services divisions, county sheriff departments (K-9 unit support), and county public-health offices. Municipalities and counties dominate the activity; school districts and transit authorities do not appear in recent solicitations under this code.

Activity clusters in California, Florida, and Texas. Recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio's annual contract for animal shelter pharmaceuticals and miscellaneous supplies (IFB, due October 30, 2026); Pinellas County Government's ITB for veterinary drugs, vaccines, medications, and hospital supplies for its Animal Services Department serving over 10,000 impounded animals annually with an estimated annual budget of $25,000 and a projected 36-month contract value of $75,000 commencing January 25, 2027; the County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner's IFB for specialized veterinary and boarding services for its K-9 unit requiring board-certified specialists, MRI and CT imaging capabilities, and 24/7 availability (bids due September 3, 2026); Collier County's ITN for comprehensive veterinary services at its Domestic Animal Services Center with three-year term and two one-year renewal options, weighted evaluation on vendor qualifications (20 points), WBE/MBE certification (5 points), service quality (25 points), regulatory compliance (15 points), pricing (25 points), and local-vendor preference (10 points); and Williamson County, Texas's IFB for veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies for its regional animal shelter requiring an online ordering portal and firm pricing for the initial three months (due April 23, 2026).
