UNSPSC 72102105: Animal trapping

UNSPSC 72102105 Animal trapping, Commodity code, encompasses live trapping, removal, and control of invasive or nuisance wildlife species on state and local public lands and facilities, as recently solicited by state fish and wildlife agencies, correctional facilities, county parks, and educational institutions. The code spans both routine wildlife exclusion and specialized invasive-species eradication programs, with recent activity showing significant emphasis on python and tegu removal across Florida public lands and nonnative wildlife management at institutional sites.

Recent solicitations reflect two distinct operational streams: ongoing pest and rodent control at public facilities (prisons, state offices, schools, parks, transit hubs) delivered through monthly integrated pest management contracts, and specialized wildlife-removal operations targeting invasive reptiles and commensal species on public conservation lands. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued multiple RFPs for large-scale python and tegu removal with budgets exceeding $2 million and $29.6 million respectively, reflecting substantial state investment in invasive-species suppression. In parallel, state correctional facilities (Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Illinois Department of Corrections) and county offices solicit routine monthly pest control and rodent management. State and local issuing bodies span fish and wildlife agencies, departments of corrections, county general services and facilities management, school districts, municipalities, and special-purpose facilities such as port authorities and transit agencies. Florida agencies (Canaveral Port Authority, Palm Beach County, multiple Florida Fish and Wildlife commissions) dominate the recent-opportunity block, supplemented by state facilities procurement across Illinois, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and Oregon. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, with secondary activity in Arizona, California, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Canaveral Port Authority's RFP for integrated pest management and bird deterrent services across port facilities (due October 6, 2026); the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's IFB for monthly exterminator services at the Gainesville State Juvenile Correctional Facility (due October 23, 2026); Forsyth County, Georgia's ITQ for pest control and mosquito mitigation services (due October 29, 2026); Wake County North Carolina's RFP for integrated pest management across 109 county facilities (due October 29, 2026); and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's high-value RFPs for nonnative snake control (Python Action Team, $29.6 million, due October 20, 2026) and nonnative lizard removal (due October 28, 2026).
