UNSPSC 85131503: Animal experimentation

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a human experimentation service

UNSPSC 85131503 Animal experimentation is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve animal testing or research. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational health screening and inmate medical services—health assessments and clinical care delivery for defined populations. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code are county governments and consolidated city-county authorities, particularly those operating fire rescue departments, detention facilities, or public health programs. The scope of work centers on comprehensive medical examinations, preventive health assessments, clinical laboratory and imaging services, pharmacy management, and ongoing care coordination, all delivered through contracted medical staff including physicians, nurses, clinical physiologists, and support personnel working in fixed County-approved or contractor-owned facilities.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted ITB 2600315 on June 29, 2026, seeking competitive sealed bids for comprehensive occupational wellness examinations for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, with bids due July 21, 2026; the estimated contract value is $2,480,940 over three years, covering medical examinations, fitness assessments, laboratory tests, chest X-rays, and HazMat-specific testing for up to 1,300 fire rescue members. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Georgia) issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; proposals were due May 15, 2026, under a two-year initial term with three one-year renewal options, with the current monthly cost for medical services at $95,537.71 and pharmacy services billed as pass-through plus management fee. Both opportunities required vendor track records demonstrating multi-year experience in comparable settings and mandated compliance with clinical accreditation standards, E-Verify, and comprehensive insurance coverage.
