UNSPSC 10120000: Animal feed

Animal feed is food given to domestic animals, especially livestock, in the course of animal husbandry.

UNSPSC 10120000 Animal feed, a Family code, covers the supply of feed, hay, bedding, and related products for livestock, equine operations, farm animals, and shelter animals managed by state and local agencies. State and local governments buy under this code to support animal care across diverse operational contexts: equine facilities and park ranger mounted units; dairy operations; shelters serving dogs, cats, and other domesticated species; and correctional agency K-9 units. The mix of issuing bodies includes county governments, municipal parks departments, state universities and higher-education systems, state departments of conservation and recreation, county animal care agencies, and state correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show repeat buyers across multiple states, with Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, Oklahoma, and Florida all active in the first half of 2026.
