UNSPSC 42121800: Veterinary artificial insemination equipment and supplies

In this classification, this class includes equipment, instruments, appliances and supplies involved in artificial insemination procedures involving animals.

UNSPSC 42121800 Veterinary artificial insemination equipment and supplies is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers comprehensive veterinary services for government-managed animal programs, including emergency care, surgical procedures, diagnostics, and specialized animal husbandry — work that diverges materially from the code's nominal scope of AI equipment and supplies. County governments and sheriff's departments are the primary issuing bodies, using this code to solicit veterinary support for K-9 units, animal control operations, and shelter services on an as-needed or term-contract basis. The scope of services typically includes examination, diagnosis, treatment, vaccinations, spay/neuter operations, emergency care, and advanced surgical and diagnostic imaging capabilities. Contractors must hold current veterinary licensure, demonstrate high-volume experience in relevant specialties (surgery, spay/neuter, or board-certified specializations), maintain facility-based or mobile operations with specified geographic proximity to the customer, and carry comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance.

Recent opportunities span Arizona and California, with Pinal County, Arizona issuing an RFP for veterinary services for Animal Care & Control (due June 5, 2026, for a one-year initial term with four one-year renewals commencing June 17, 2026) and the County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner issuing an IFB for specialized veterinary and boarding services for its K-9 unit (due September 3, 2026, for a three-year firm fixed-fee term with two optional renewals). The Orange County solicitation explicitly applies a 5% preference deduction to County Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certified bidders during evaluation. Both opportunities require proposers to meet rigorous insurance, staffing, and facility standards, with response dates in mid-2026 indicating sustained government demand for professional veterinary support under fixed or cost-per-service structures.
