UNSPSC 10101501: Cats

UNSPSC 10101501 Cats, a Commodity code, covers animal food products supplied to state and local shelter and animal-care facilities. The code captures procurement of nutritionally formulated food for cats and other domesticated species housed in public animal-control and shelter operations. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying reliable, consistent sources of animal food to support daily shelter operations serving mixed species populations, with cats representing a significant portion of intake volumes.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control (CMACC) in North Carolina issued a competitive solicitation in May 2026 for the Shelter Food Supply Program, with proposals due June 24, 2026. The contract supports two CMACC facilities caring for approximately 12,000 animals annually—dogs (59%), cats (33%), and other domesticated species (8%)—across locations at 8315 Byrum Drive and 2700 Toomey Avenue in Charlotte. The solicitation emphasizes the need for nutritionally appropriate food products that enable reliable, consistent, and cost-effective shelter operations. Beyond CMACC's activity in North Carolina, the source provides no additional recent opportunities, issuing-body examples, or geographic spread data. This code shows limited recent state and local procurement visibility in the available records.
