UNSPSC 10101500: Livestock

UNSPSC 10101500 Livestock is a Class code under which state and local governments procure arena infrastructure, equipment, and professional services for equestrian and agricultural facilities. Recent activity shows two substantive procurement paths: construction of portable and permanent arena systems comprising gates, panels, chutes, loading ramps, and mechanical training equipment; and architectural and engineering design services for regional arena and event centers supporting rodeos, equestrian events, and agricultural programming. Snow College has posted two separate IFBs for arena and corral livestock infrastructure—most recently in September 2026 for delivery by December 1, 2026, and earlier in May 2026 for delivery by July 12, 2026—each specifying portable or permanent configurations with detailed steel-gauge and finish requirements. The issuing bodies are primarily educational institutions and municipalities: Snow College (Utah) appears as a repeat buyer of equipment, and Herriman City (Utah) is currently soliciting design services for a regional facility. Vendors pursuing equipment sales should expect highly specified IFBs with lowest-price evaluation and strict compliance requirements; design firms should expect RFPs weighted toward experience with equestrian facilities and regional-scale venues.

Both recent opportunities are concentrated in Utah, reflecting that state's agricultural and equestrian economy. Snow College's September 2026 IFB (SNOC26271020, due October 10, 2026) sought a complete portable arena system including 56 mixed-size gates, 20 additional panels, roping and stripping chutes, and a commercial-grade mechanical bronc training machine (Smarty Bronc brand or equivalent), with F.O.B. Destination freight prepaid and Net 30 payment terms. Herriman City's July 2026 RFP (HERR07222026, due August 27, 2026) for the Butterfield Arena and Event Center design services required architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering disciplines, with evaluation weighted 35 percent to qualifications and experience, 25 percent to design approach, 20 percent to project management, 15 percent to cost, and 5 percent to proposal quality; the City targeted project kickoff for October 5, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity—two clearly relevant procurements and a third unrelated notice—indicating a narrow market of state and local buyers concentrated in agricultural regions.
