UNSPSC 42331601: Veterinary

Kits for use during Veterinary procedures.

UNSPSC 42331601 Veterinary services — a Commodity code — encompasses animal care and medical treatment provided by licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians to state and local animal control facilities, shelters, rescue organizations, and public health programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring spay and neuter surgery, rabies and preventive vaccinations, emergency care, wellness examinations, microchipping, trap-neuter-vaccinate-release (TNVR) programs, and relief coverage during regular veterinarian absence or leave. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal animal control and care departments, county domestic animal services divisions, and in one case a university research center. The City of San Antonio Animal Care Services Department appears as a repeat buyer, issuing three separate RFAs and one RFP for veterinary work in July 2026 alone, including community vaccine clinics, spay and neuter surgeries, emergency overnight care, and rescue partner services. Collier County, Florida and Pinal County, Arizona also solicited comprehensive veterinary contracts in recent months. Work is performed at municipal shelter facilities, on-site at county animal control centers, and at mobile clinic locations throughout service areas; the San Mateo County RFP requires mobile veterinary services to underserved homeless encampments and outreach sites throughout the county.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in California and Arizona. San Antonio dominates the current pipeline with four opportunities due August 25 and August 17, 2026 (RFA 26106 for vaccine clinics at $20 per animal, RFA 26105 for spay/neuter at $1,300 per shift plus travel stipend, RFA 26104 for rescue partner services at $200 per animal, and RFP 26-063 for emergency evening and overnight care with pre-submittal conference July 13, 2026). San Mateo County, California issued an Informal RFP for relief mobile veterinary services to unhoused populations, with proposals due March 24, 2026, offering a three-year contract and local-business preferences (10 points). Collier County is executing its first formal TNVR program (ITN due March 17, 2026) with tiered per-cat reimbursement ($25 healthy, $10 medical, $5 euthanasia) and WBE/MBE bonus scoring. Pinal County (RFP 264131, due June 4, 2026) and Prairie View A&M University (RFP 715-26-02, due April 7, 2026) also posted veterinary contracts; the university required HUB subcontracting plans and prioritized vendors within 50 miles. Texas Racing Commission issued two RFQs for veterinarians and veterinary technicians at state racetracks (due May 15, 2026, hourly rates $35–$125 per hour depending on experience and assignment duration). Fort Worth Animal Care and Control solicited X-ray equipment services only, not veterinary labor.
