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 (Class) encompasses the procurement of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and clinical supplies that state and local animal welfare and public health agencies purchase to support shelter operations, vaccination programs, and veterinary care. State and local governments buying under this code procure oral medications (Amoxicillin, Amantadine), vaccine-related services, pharmaceutical inventory for animal shelters, and supplies supporting trap-neuter-vaccinate-release (TNVR) programs and comprehensive veterinary clinics. The issuing bodies include county and city animal services divisions, domestic animal shelter operations, and public health departments. Collier County has posted multiple opportunities under or adjacent to this code in recent months, suggesting sustained procurement activity in animal welfare operations. Harris County Public Health Services Office and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter have also solicited under the code recently, indicating municipal and county-level engagement.

Activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with recent solicitations from Collier County (multiple ITNs for comprehensive veterinary services and TNVR programs), Williamson County, Harris County, and the City of Dallas. Representative opportunities include Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter's IFB for pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies (26IFB24, due April 23, 2026), specifying oral medications and requiring vendors to establish an online ordering portal with firm pricing for three months and delivery within two weeks; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for comprehensive veterinary services to the Domestic Animal Services Center (due February 4, 2025), covering routine assessments, vaccinations, emergency care, spay/neuter, surgical services, and diagnostics with three-year term and two one-year renewal options; and City of Dallas Animal Services' informal solicitation for veterinary pharmaceuticals (due February 12, 2026), requiring FOB delivery pricing and one-year warranty compliance. Collier County's TNVR program ITN (due March 17, 2026) operated on per-cat reimbursement rates ($25.00 to $5.00 per animal depending on medical status) with no guaranteed minimum volumes, reflecting performance-based contracting in animal welfare services.
