UNSPSC 46171649: Wildlife control equipment

Technologies, such as thermal cameras, acoustic detectors and radar systems are being developed specifically to detect birds and other wildlife on airfields, and in some cases to provide early warning of the approach of hazardous wildlife towards the operational airspace.

UNSPSC 46171649 Wildlife control equipment is a Commodity code covering protective gear and safety apparatus for personnel working with animals, as evidenced by the City of Philadelphia's recent solicitation for canine safety kits. State and local governments procure under this code specialized protective equipment designed to safeguard officers and staff engaged in animal control, law enforcement canine units, and related wildlife management operations. The equipment typically includes protective vests, restraint systems, first-aid kits, and other gear intended to minimize injury risk during animal handling and control activities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal police and animal control departments, which represent the primary end users for canine safety and protection gear.

The City of Philadelphia issued an RFQ (micro purchase) for canine safety kits on June 24, 2026, with a response deadline of June 30, 2026, under solicitation B2727387. The procurement carried a micro-purchase ceiling of $43,000 (adjusted annually by CPI-U) with a two-year requirements period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028.
