Sandoval County Seeks Veterinary Services, Proposals Due December 30

Sandoval County opened a solicitation for veterinary services under project number FY26 SCCS 01 on December 17, 2025, and set a submission deadline of December 30, 2025 at 3:00 PM MDT. The county identified the procurement classification as NIGP code 96186, and noted there is no pre bid meeting associated with this request for proposals. Official solicitation documents and any addenda are available for download from the Sandoval County Requests for Proposals and Invitations to Bid page.

The RFP covers the county level procurement for veterinary services, a contract that can affect animal control operations, shelter care, and county public health programs that address animal related welfare and disease prevention. Vendors interested in competing for the contract must download the full solicitation package from the county RFP and ITB page and follow the submission instructions included in that documentation. Contact information for county offices and links to municipal pages are provided on the county RFP page for vendors who need clarification on administrative requirements or filing procedures.

For local veterinary clinics and nonprofit animal rescues, this procurement represents both a business opportunity and a potential shift in how county supported animal services are delivered. The awarded contract will influence service capacity for spay and neuter programs, emergency care arrangements for seized or stray animals, and coordination with municipal animal control. Residents who rely on county supported veterinary programs or who foster animals for local shelters may see changes in service points, hours, or referral procedures once a vendor is selected.

Beyond immediate local effects, veterinary service contracts intersect with broader public health responsibilities. Consistent veterinary care supports animal welfare and contributes to disease surveillance and prevention, a concern that resonates with national and international standards for zoonotic disease mitigation. Sandoval County has published the official RFP posting and encourages interested parties to review the documents on the county Requests for Proposals page and to submit complete proposals by the December 30 deadline.
