UNSPSC 10121503: Feed corn

UNSPSC 10121503 Feed corn is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses equine feed supply and related products (hay, shavings) procured by parks departments, counties, and animal welfare agencies. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy feed corn and hay primarily for horse facilities and animal shelters, often bundled with complementary supplies like bedding shavings. The scope diverges from feed corn alone—issuers actually solicit broad animal feed categories (equine, canine, feline, and mixed-species) alongside hay and bedding materials as integrated supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Palm Beach County), city parks or facilities departments (City of Conyers), and animal care agencies (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control). The mix reflects both operational facilities (horse parks, county horse farms, animal shelters) and municipal procurement centralization through pre-qualification and term-contract vehicles.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and North Carolina, with a standing pre-qualification list in Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Conyers' RFP for equine waste removal, shavings, hay, and feed sales at the Georgia International Horse Park (response deadline August 27, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid site visit August 3, 2026), and DeKalb County's ITB for feed, hay, and shavings delivery to Little Creek Horse Farm (bids due July 23, 2026, with one-calendar-day delivery requirement). Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control solicited proposals for shelter food supply serving approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities (due June 24, 2026). Palm Beach County maintains an open pre-qualification list for animal feed, bedding, and supplies vendors with an anticipated five-year contract value of $1,095,000 and Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Program eligibility requirements. Delivery and quality specifications are typically firm; multi-year terms with optional extensions are common, and pre-bid or site-visit meetings often precede final submission.
