UNSPSC 42331601: Veterinary

Kits for use during Veterinary procedures.

UNSPSC 42331601 Veterinary, a Commodity code, encompasses veterinary drugs, medications, medical supplies, animal healthcare products, and professional veterinary services that state and local governments procure for animal services departments, shelters, correctional facilities, racing commissions, and public health programs. Recent state and local solicitations show governments buying across the full spectrum of veterinary inputs and labor — from vaccines, syringes, anesthetic drugs, and euthanasia solutions on contract through suppliers like Pinellas County's $75,000 estimated 36-month veterinary drugs and supplies ITB, to professional veterinary services for shelter operations, emergency care, spay-neuter programs, and specialized farm or equine work. The issuing bodies include county governments (Pinellas County, Collier County, Pinal County, Newton County, Monroe County, Gwinnett County, San Mateo County), municipal animal control and shelter departments (City of San Antonio, City of Austin, City of Phoenix, City of San Antonio), state correctional industries (Commonwealth of Kentucky), racing regulatory bodies (Texas Racing Commission), and special-purpose animal services divisions. San Antonio's Animal Care Services Department recurs as a heavy buyer, with multiple concurrent solicitations for spay-neuter surgeons, rescue partner intake coordination, vaccine clinics, and emergency overnight services.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County, Monroe County, Collier County), Texas (San Antonio, Austin, Texas Racing Commission), Arizona (Pinal County), Georgia (Monroe County), and California (San Mateo County), with scattered solicitations in Kentucky and other states. Representative current opportunities include Pinellas County's ITB 26-0718 for veterinary drugs and supplies (responses due September 24, 2026; $25,000 annual budget, three-year term), Newton County's sealed proposal for veterinary services to Animal Services (due October 22, 2026), Monroe County Georgia's RFP for a licensed veterinarian to provide professional oversight and consultation for the shelter (due October 23, 2026), the City of Austin's RFP for emergency overnight veterinary services covering after-hours emergency and infectious-disease care (due September 29, 2026), and San Antonio's multiple applications-based procurements for spay-neuter surgeons ($1,300 per shift plus travel stipend), vaccine clinics ($20 per animal served), and rescue organization contracts ($200 per animal pulled from shelter). Collier County's ITN 25-8347 for comprehensive veterinary services supporting a domestic animal center (due February 4, 2025; three-year term with two one-year renewal options; local-vendor and WBE/MBE evaluation preference) and Pinal County's RFP 264131 for veterinary services including high-volume spay-neuter and emergency care (due June 5, 2026; June 17, 2026 through June 16, 2027 with four one-year renewal options) typify the longer-term service arrangements. San Mateo County's informal RFP for relief mobile veterinary services for unhoused and lower-income populations (due March 24, 2026; three-year term; 10 percent local-business preference) and the Texas Racing Commission's RFQ for equine veterinarians across four racetracks (fixed $125 hourly rate; $150,000 annual cap per contract; four one-year renewal options) reflect specialized niches within the code.
