UNSPSC 10121504: Feed sorghum

UNSPSC 10121504 Feed sorghum, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of animal feed and related supplies for shelter, livestock, and equine operations. Recent activity shows the code applies broadly to mixed animal feed procurement—not sorghum specifically—where counties, cities, and animal care agencies source feed, hay, shavings, and related animal husbandry products through competitive bidding. Issuing bodies span county procurement offices, municipal animal-care divisions, and special-purpose facility operators; Solano County, DeKalb County, the City of Conyers, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control appear in recent solicitations. The scope of work includes delivery of bagged and bulk feed products to animal shelters and farm facilities, often with tight delivery windows (next-day or same-day turnaround in some cases), and bundled procurement that couples feed sales with ancillary services such as waste removal or shavings distribution.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and North Carolina, with activity also in California. Representative solicitations include Solano County's IFB 325-0910-25 for animal feed products due September 26, 2024, supporting the County's Animal Care Services Division; DeKalb County's ITB 2026-085-ITB for feed, hay, and shavings at Little Creek Horse Farm, a three-year contract with two one-year options, with bids due July 23, 2026 and next-day delivery required; the City of Conyers RFP for equine waste removal, shavings, and feed sales at the Georgia International Horse Park, proposals due August 27, 2026, structured as a ten-year contract commencing January 1, 2027 with a five-year extension option; and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control's shelter food supply program, a competitively procured contract due June 24, 2026, for nutritionally appropriate feed supporting approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities.
