UNSPSC 70121803: Kennels services

UNSPSC 70121803 Kennels services is a Commodity code covering animal boarding, impoundment, and shelter operations services that state and local governments buy to support animal control, law enforcement, and public health functions. Recent solicitations show a mix of kennel and boarding operations (24/7 facilities for working dogs and general animal boarding), animal impoundment and adoption services, behavior management programs, and ancillary services including vaccination clinics, spay-and-neuter contracts, and rescue partner incentives. The code spans multiple issuing bodies—municipal animal control agencies, county sheriffs' offices, state agriculture departments, animal welfare centers, and city police departments—with no single dominant buyer. Representative scope varies sharply: the Florida Department of Agriculture is procuring detection-dog boarding facilities near Davie with USDA and APHIS compliance; the City of Phoenix is soliciting five-year animal boarding contracts supporting police and human services with 24/7 supervision, group play, medication management, and quarantine services; the City of Bend issued a sole-source notice for animal impoundment services with the Humane Society of Central Oregon; and Yamhill County, Oregon is seeking integrated kennel, adoption, and euthanasia operations near McMinnville with public-facing vaccination and licensing functions.

Geographic activity clusters across the South (Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina), the West (Oregon, Colorado), and the Northeast (New Jersey), with recent solicitations posted from June through October 2026. City procurement offices in Phoenix, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Atlanta have issued multiple related opportunities—shelter veterinary services, animal housing equipment, behavior management, and food supply contracts—suggesting sustained annual procurement cycles. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners recently closed an ITQ for cardboard pet carriers valued at $43,200 over two years (proposals due July 2, 2026), and Collier County issued an ITN for three-year comprehensive veterinary services covering 5,463 annual animal intakes with selection criteria weighted toward local-vendor preference (10 points) and WBE/MBE certification (5 points). The City of Wichita solicited veterinary consulting services with a 10% Small & Emerging Business Enterprise set-aside (proposals due June 5, 2026), and the City of Fort Worth's one-time animal housing equipment RFP established a 30% small business participation goal with county-specific geographic certification requirements. A Pasco County RFI (closed May 19, 2026) signals emerging demand for animal management software integrating intake, adoption, field reporting, and licensing functions, indicating downstream integration opportunities. Activity remains steady across jurisdictions of varying size, with response deadlines typically 30 to 60 days from posting.
