UNSPSC 94131903: Threatened animals protection associations

UNSPSC 94131903 Threatened animals protection associations, a Commodity code, encompasses veterinary and animal care services that state and local governments procure to support municipal shelter operations, animal rescue programs, and public health animal services. Recent activity shows cities, counties, and special-purpose animal services departments soliciting spay and neuter surgery, emergency veterinary care, behavioral management, trap-neuter-return programs, vaccine clinics, rescue coordination, and shelter food and housing supplies as part of comprehensive shelter management.

State and local issuing bodies active under this code include city animal care departments (San Antonio, Wichita, Fort Worth, Atlanta, Salem), county governments (Collier, Bergen, Harris, Hillsborough, Pasco), and independent school districts (Los Fresnos ISD in Texas). San Antonio Animal Care Services stands out as a repeat buyer, posting four separate solicitations between June and July 2026 for veterinary services, vaccine clinics, spay/neuter contractors, and emergency care. Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Texas (San Antonio, Wichita, Fort Worth, Los Fresnos), Florida (Collier, Hillsborough, Pasco), New Jersey (Bergen County), North Carolina (Charlotte-Mecklenburg), Georgia (state DNR), and Oregon (Salem). Representative recent procurements include San Antonio's RFP 26-063 for emergency veterinary care services due August 17, 2026; Collier County's ITN 26-8652 for Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release program operations (reimbursement-based, per-cat rates ranging $5–$25); and Fort Worth's RFP 26-0179 for one-time animal housing equipment (kennel doors, group housing kennels, cat condos) with 30% small business participation goal and evaluation criteria weighted toward technical specifications and vendor qualifications. Activity is concentrated in shelter operations, veterinary service delivery, rescue-partner incentive programs, and animal care supplies; cooperative purchasing vehicles and local vendor preferences appear in several solicitations (Collier County's TNVR program, Wichita's Small & Emerging Business Enterprise set-aside at 10% evaluation weight, Hillsborough County's cooperative-member access clause).
