UNSPSC 70122009: Animal hospital services

UNSPSC 70122009 Animal hospital services is a Commodity code encompassing veterinary care, surgical services, boarding, vaccination clinics, and related animal welfare support that state and local animal control agencies, shelter operators, and municipalities actively procure. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying comprehensive veterinary services (examinations, spay/neuter surgery, emergency care, euthanasia protocols), animal boarding and kenneling operations, vaccine and microchip clinics, rescue coordination services, behavior management programs, shelter food supply, and ancillary supplies such as animal housing equipment and carriers. The issuing bodies include municipal animal services departments, county animal shelters and control offices, city police departments' animal divisions, and special-purpose animal care agencies; Austin, San Antonio, Phoenix, Fort Worth, Davis County (Utah), Yamhill County (Oregon), Bergen County (New Jersey), Wichita, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg are repeat buyers across multiple service categories. Geographic spread spans the Southwest (Texas, Arizona), Upper Midwest (Kansas), Mountain West (Utah), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Southeast (Georgia, North Carolina, Florida), and Northeast (New Jersey) with concentrated activity in Texas municipalities.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio Animal Care Services requesting applications for spay/neuter contract veterinarians (RFA 26-105, proposals due August 25, 2026) offering $1,300 per shift plus travel reimbursement, the City of Phoenix requesting sealed offers for animal boarding services (RFQU270399, proposals due October 21, 2026) with a five-year term and minimum three-years-in-operation requirement, Davis County Utah's Animal Care of Davis County requesting veterinary services proposals (RFP, proposals due October 22, 2026) accepting in-house and off-site arrangements with valid Utah licensure as a pass/fail threshold, Fort Worth Animal Care and Control requesting a one-time purchase of animal housing equipment (RFP 26-0179, proposals due May 21, 2026) with 30 percent small business participation goal, and the City of Wichita soliciting veterinary consulting services for its animal shelter (RFP, proposals due June 5, 2026) with a 10 percent small business enterprise set-aside. A subset of opportunities—such as the Hillsborough County cardboard pet carriers ITQ (estimated $43,200 over two years) and Charlotte-Mecklenburg's shelter food supply procurement—target commodity supply chains rather than direct clinical services.
