UNSPSC 70121607: Small animal breeding services

UNSPSC 70121607 Small animal breeding services (Commodity) covers veterinary care, animal welfare, and operational support services that state and local animal care agencies actually procure — not breeding per se, but comprehensive shelter medicine, preventive care clinics, behavior management, and rescue coordination for dogs, cats, and small companion animals in municipal custody. Recent activity concentrates among Texas municipalities, Florida counties, and scattered state and local animal control departments soliciting spay/neuter surgery contracts, community vaccination clinics, emergency veterinary consulting, trap-neuter-return programs, and rescue partner reimbursement — all arms-length services supporting shelter operations rather than breeding animals for sale or distribution.

The issuing bodies are primarily municipal animal care departments, county domestic animal services divisions, and shelter authorities. The City of San Antonio Animal Care Services has posted three concurrent solicitations under this code (spay/neuter contract veterinarians, community vaccine and microchip clinics, and rescue partner incentive programs), establishing it as the most active single buyer in the recent sample. Collier County (Florida), Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control, Hillsborough County, and Bergen County Animal Shelter also show repeated procurement activity. Beyond veterinary services, recent opportunities include animal housing equipment procurement (Fort Worth), shelter food supply contracting (Charlotte-Mecklenburg), and even organizational management software for animal services (Pasco County RFI). Geographic concentration spans Texas (San Antonio, Wichita, Fort Worth, Windcrest), Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County), and secondary activity in New York (Bergen County), North Carolina (Charlotte-Mecklenburg), and Oregon (Salem). Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio's spay/neuter contract solicitation due August 25, 2026, offering $1,300 per shift for licensed Texas veterinarians to perform 10–20 surgeries daily at ACS facilities; Collier County's Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release program ITN due March 17, 2026 (initially posted), compensating contractors at tiered per-cat rates ($25 for healthy sterilized cats, $5–$10 for medical or euthanasia cases) with no minimum volume guarantee; and the City of Wichita's veterinary consulting RFP due June 5, 2026, seeking five-year experience and a 10-percent Small & Emerging Business Enterprise evaluation set-aside.
