UNSPSC 10101500: Livestock

UNSPSC 10101500 Livestock is a Class code under which state and local governments procure livestock products, grazing leases, and livestock-related equipment and services. The recent activity shows two distinct streams: livestock grazing-lease procurement (cattle leasing on public lands for vegetation management and invasive species control) and livestock-support supplies (hay, forage, and arena equipment for equine and cattle operations). Counties, state wildlife agencies, higher-education institutions, and education service centers are the primary issuing bodies. The scope ranges from annual cattle grazing rights on thousands of acres with performance bonds and range management requirements, to feed and forage supply agreements, to arena infrastructure for livestock handling. One representative opportunity is the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's ITB for cattle grazing services on the Dinner Island Ranch Wildlife Management Area Caracara Unit (16,868 acres in Hendry County), with bids due May 5, 2026, and award based on highest annual pricing per animal unit; bidders were required to attend a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit, with performance bonds tied to annual income plus fence and fire-line maintenance costs. A second example is Pasco County Parks, Recreation and Nature Resources' IFB for cattle grazing on 208 acres of county-owned property (three separate pastures) in the Spring Hill area, with bids due May 5, 2026, online through Bonfire, a minimum acceptable revenue threshold of $225 per animal unit, and a local vendor preference available to operators in Pasco County or neighboring counties with at least twelve months of prior operation.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Utah, with secondary representation from North Carolina and Texas. Florida has issued two cattle grazing leases in the past quarter (Dinner Island Ranch and Pasco County), while Utah's Snow College posted an IFB for arena and corral livestock gates, panels, chutes, and ramps (31 eight-foot gates, 11 twelve-foot gates, 7 six-foot gates, steel construction 16-gauge minimum, delivery to Ephraim Campus by July 12, 2026, ITB posted May 22, 2026, bids due June 5, 2026). Region One Education Service Center in Texas issued an RFP for child nutrition program beef products under a South Texas Cooperative arrangement (RFP 25-0168, proposals due February 18, 2026). NC State University's Procurement & Business Services solicited forage products (orchard mix and alfalfa bales, coastal bermuda hay) for Reedy Creek Equine Farm via RFQ (posted February 13, 2026, quotations due February 26, 2026). A notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department announcing a relocation was tagged under this code but contains no procurement activity.
