UNSPSC 70121600: Livestock industry

UNSPSC 70121600 Livestock industry is a Class code covering animal care, boarding, kenneling, veterinary services, and related support functions that state and local governments procure to operate shelters, animal control facilities, and municipal animal-care programs. The code spans intake and housing operations, medical and surgical services, adoption support, behavioral management, vaccination clinics, and consumables such as food, bedding, and carriers. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, and animal-welfare departments purchasing comprehensive veterinary services, emergency care, spay-and-neuter procedures, canine and feline boarding and kenneling, rescue and adoption support, vaccine clinics, behavior management programming, and animal-care supplies including feed, housing equipment, and carriers.

Activity is widespread across the country, with recent opportunities posted by jurisdictions in Texas (San Antonio, Fort Worth, Wichita, McKinney, Phoenix), California (Solano County, Hillsborough County), Florida (Pasco County, Collier County), Oregon (Yamhill County), Utah (Herriman City), Georgia (Tift County Schools), New Jersey (Bergen County), and North Carolina (Charlotte-Mecklenburg).
