UNSPSC 70123001: Dog control, containment and welfare service

Service related to dog control, containment and welfare management

UNSPSC 70123001 Dog control, containment and welfare service is a Commodity code that covers operational and clinical services for animal shelters and control agencies, including veterinary care, behavioral management, rescue coordination, vaccination clinics, spay and neuter procedures, boarding and kenneling, and animal food supply. State and local animal care departments, shelter operators, and municipal animal control divisions are the primary issuing bodies, with city animal care services departments issuing the majority of recent solicitations followed by county animal services authorities, independent school districts procuring K-9 veterinary support, and special-purpose animal service centers operated by municipal transit or police departments.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, with San Antonio Animal Care Services issuing five separate solicitations between June and July 2026 for emergency veterinary services, spay and neuter contractor veterinarians, community vaccination and microchip clinics, and feral cat rescue placement contracts. Fort Worth, Wichita, and Windcrest (Texas) have also posted animal care solicitations for shelter equipment, veterinary consulting, and boarding services. Additional geographic spread includes Florida, with Collier County soliciting comprehensive veterinary services and feral cat trap-neuter-vaccinate-release programs, Hillsborough County requesting cardboard pet carrier supplies, and Pasco County issuing a market intelligence RFI for shelter management software. North Carolina, New Jersey, Georgia, and Oregon represent additional recent activity. Representative current opportunities include San Antonio Animal Care Services' RFP 26-063 for emergency veterinary care services (due August 17, 2026, with a pre-submittal conference on July 13, 2026), Collier County's ITN for comprehensive veterinary services to the Domestic Animal Services Center (due February 4, 2025, with weighted evaluation criteria including local-vendor preference and WBE/MBE certification), Fort Worth's RFP 26-0179 for animal housing equipment and kennel doors (due May 21, 2026, with a 30% small business participation goal), and the City of Wichita's RFP for veterinary consulting services to the Animal Shelter (due June 5, 2026, with Small & Emerging Business Enterprise set-aside designation at 10% of evaluation weight).
