About this opportunity
The state of Texas has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Animal Care and Boarding/Kenneling Services, with the solicitation posted on October 24, 2025, and proposals due by November 14, 2025. While specific details are limited due to the unavailable full document, the procurement appears to be seeking comprehensive animal care services, potentially for a state-level animal control or shelter system. The contract likely requires vendors to provide professional animal boarding, care, medical management, and potentially rehabilitation or adoption support services. Potential key deliverables may include daily animal care, health monitoring, feeding, cleaning, medical treatment, and potential transportation services. The evaluation criteria are not fully visible, but typically such contracts would assess vendor qualifications, animal care expertise, facility standards, staff credentials, and pricing structures. Critical submission deadlines include the proposal due date of November 14, 2025, though without the full RFP, specific timeline details for questions, pre-bid meetings, or site visits cannot be confirmed.
Given the limited available information, potential set-aside designations or vendor restrictions cannot be definitively stated. The contract may potentially include preferences for local Texas-based vendors, small businesses, or disadvantaged enterprise programs, which are common in state procurement processes. Without the complete RFP, details about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure remain unknown. Potential award values for animal care and kenneling services can typically range from modest local contracts of $50,000 to more comprehensive statewide agreements approaching $500,000 annually, depending on the scope of services and number of animals requiring care. Vendors would likely need to demonstrate significant animal care capabilities, including appropriate facilities, trained staff, veterinary partnerships, and comprehensive animal management protocols to be competitive in this procurement opportunity.
