UNSPSC 51204205: Ovine rinderpest or peste des petit ruminants vaccines

This classification denotes preparations containing substances with antigenic properties administered to activate veterinary or non-human immune systems, thereby inducing immune responses, preparations called vaccines, of which the current commodities address or prevent an infectious morbillivirus called Ovine rinderpest or Peste des petit ruminants that afflicts goats and sheep, thus the term OVINE RINDERPEST OR PESTE DES PETIT RUMINANTS (PPR) VACCINES.

UNSPSC 51204205 Ovine rinderpest or peste des petit ruminants vaccines is a Commodity code that in practice covers veterinary pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and animal healthcare supplies procured by municipal and county animal care operations. State and local governments buy under this code as part of broader veterinary supply contracts supporting municipally operated and county-run animal shelters, animal care services divisions, and animal control facilities. Recent solicitations frame the work as procurement of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, medications, syringes, needles, sutures, anesthetic drugs, euthanasia solutions, and related medical supplies on an as-needed basis to support routine care, emergency treatment, surgical procedures including spay and neuter, preventative medicine, and euthanasia services. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal animal care services departments and county animal services divisions; the City of San Antonio, Pinellas County, Solano County, Harris County, Collier County, and Williamson County have all solicited similar supplies in recent months. Contracts are typically small-dollar, single-award or multi-award arrangements with no guaranteed minimums, often quoted as discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail price and requiring two-day or two-week delivery timelines.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. The City of San Antonio issued an RFQ for annual animal pharmaceutical supply on October 14, 2026, with bids due October 30, 2026; Pinellas County Government issued an ITB for veterinary drugs and supplies due September 24, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $25,000 and a three-year projected value of $75,000 commencing January 25, 2027, requiring three years of prior similar experience and mandatory Florida-specific compliance affidavits on alien transport, foreign control, and human trafficking; Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Texas issued an IFB for veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies due April 23, 2026, requiring an online ordering portal and firm pricing for three months with optional 12-month extensions up to 36 months total; and Harris County Public Health Services Office solicited pet clinic supplies under ITB due July 27, 2026. Solano County's September 2024 animal feed procurement overlaps tangentially but addresses feed rather than pharmaceuticals. No federal set-asides or preference programs are evident in these recent opportunities; Collier County's comprehensive veterinary services ITN weights local-vendor preference and WBE/MBE certification but does not restrict award to those categories.
