UNSPSC 94131902: Endangered species protection associations

UNSPSC 94131902 Endangered species protection associations, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity visible in recent state and local solicitations. The opportunities posted under this code span animal shelter management, veterinary services, boarding and kenneling, adoption programs, and animal housing equipment—none of which align with endangered species protection work. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch, with issuers applying it to routine animal welfare procurement rather than threatened or endangered species conservation or compliance services.

State and local buyers tagged under this code include municipal animal care departments (San Antonio, Phoenix, Wichita, Fort Worth, Atlanta), county sheriff's offices and animal control divisions (Yamhill County Oregon, Gwinnett County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida), county animal services centers (Collier County Florida, Charlotte-Mecklenburg North Carolina), and special animal welfare agencies (Bergen County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, City of Bend Humane Society procurement). Recent solicitations span companion animal boarding and kenneling (Phoenix RFQ for five-year animal boarding services with 24/7 on-site supervision, October 21, 2026 deadline; Yamhill County sheriff's dog kenneling and adoption services RFP, August 31, 2026); spay-neuter and emergency veterinary services (San Antonio spay-neuter contract veterinarians and emergency care services; Collier County comprehensive veterinary services ITN with three-year term plus two one-year renewals); shelter supply and food contracting (Charlotte-Mecklenburg shelter food supply, Gwinnett County canine beds, Hillsborough County cardboard pet carriers at $43,200 estimated value); animal behavior management (Bergen County canine behavior program, August 7, 2026 deadline); and rescue partnership programs paying $200 per animal pulled from shelter. Geographic activity centers on Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (San Antonio, Fort Worth, McKinney), Florida (Collier, Hillsborough, Pasco Counties), Oregon (Yamhill County), New Jersey (Bergen County), and North Carolina (Charlotte-Mecklenburg), with isolated activity in Georgia and California. The code carries no decision-relevant signal for endangered species work.
