UNSPSC 51204200: Veterinary vaccines and virology products

This classification denotes commodities that contain substances with antigenic properties to activate veterinary or non-human immune systems, thereby inducing immune responses, preparations called vaccines, or detection devices and preparations to identify presence of the same, thus the term VETERINARY VACCINES AND VIROLOGY PRODUCTS.

Such veterinary vaccines and virology products focus on Aphthoviruses, arteriviruses, circoviruses, coronaviruses, flaviviruses, herpesviruses, orbiviruses, pestiviruses, retroviruses, rhabdoviruses, toroviruses, and/or orthomyxoviridae, or in other words, veterinary infectious diseases.

UNSPSC 51204200 Veterinary vaccines and virology products is a Class code covering veterinary pharmaceutical and vaccine supplies that state and local animal-care facilities procure on an as-needed basis to support shelter operations, emergency veterinary services, and preventive care. Recent solicitations show city and county animal-services departments, public-health offices, and sheriff's canine units buying vaccines, injectable medications, euthanasia solutions, syringes, sutures, anesthetic drugs, and related medical supplies. The issuing bodies span a mix of city animal shelters (San Antonio), county animal-services divisions (Pinellas County, Orange County Sheriff-Coroner, Collier County, Williamson County), state health agencies (Idaho), and county public-health offices (Harris County). Contracts typically run one to three years with annual or per-anniversary price-adjustment windows, quoted as discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail price or firm fixed pricing. Vendors must demonstrate three years of prior relevant experience, hold appropriate liability and workers' compensation insurance, register with state agencies or corporate divisions, and comply with E-Verify and background-clearance requirements where mandated.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Florida (Pinellas County, Collier County), California (Orange County), and Texas (San Antonio, Harris County, Williamson County), with additional state-level procurement in Idaho. Representative recent solicitations include Pinellas County's ITB 26-0718 for veterinary drugs and supplies with a 36-month contract value of $75,000 and response deadline of September 24, 2026; the City of San Antonio's annual pharmaceuticals contract (Solicitation 6100019772) due October 30, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on October 21, 2026; Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter's IFB 26IFB24 for pharmaceutical and clinic supplies due April 23, 2026, requiring an online ordering portal and two-week delivery windows; and Collier County's ITN 25-8347 for comprehensive veterinary services to the Domestic Animal Services Center due February 4, 2025, with local-vendor preference and WBE/MBE certification weighted into scoring. Florida procurements impose mandatory foreign-country-of-concern and human-trafficking affidavits, and Orange County applies a 5% local-small-business or disabled-veteran-business-enterprise preference deduction during evaluation. Delivery terms consistently require FOB destination with freight prepaid, two-day to two-week fulfillment windows, and electronic ordering and tracking systems.
