UNSPSC 10121500: Livestock feed

UNSPSC 10121500 Livestock feed (Class) covers equine and domesticated animal feed, hay, shavings, and related supplies that state and local governments procure for parks, county facilities, and municipal animal shelters. State and local buyers source this code primarily through ITBs and RFPs for ongoing supply agreements at operational facilities — equine parks and horse farms obtain hay, grain feeds, and bedding materials under multi-year contracts with frequent delivery schedules, while animal shelters and control facilities procure nutritionally formulated feed for dogs, cats, and other species. Recent solicitations show single sourcing for exclusive supply agreements at specific government-operated venues as well as pre-qualification frameworks for open vendor pools where projects are awarded on a lowest-price basis.

The issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, municipal governments, and specialized district authorities. DeKalb County in Georgia issued an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings delivery to Little Creek Horse Farm due July 23, 2026, under a three-year contract with two one-year options requiring delivery within one calendar day of request. The City of Conyers posted an RFP on July 7, 2026, for equine waste removal and feed and hay sales at the Georgia International Horse Park with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting August 3, 2026, and proposals due August 27, 2026 — a ten-year initial term (2027–2036) with a five-year extension option. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control solicited a Shelter Food Supply Program contract due June 24, 2026, serving 12,000 animals annually across two facilities. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners maintains an open pre-qualification register for animal feed, bedding, and supplies under a sixty-month standing contract with an anticipated total value of $1,095,000, accepting new vendor applications continuously with projects awarded at lowest fixed price subject to local preference. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with North Carolina also represented.
