UNSPSC 10121504: Feed sorghum

UNSPSC 10121504 Feed sorghum is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses the supply of feed, hay, bedding (shavings and pine pellets), and related animal-care supplies to state and local government facilities. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code are purchasing feed and hay for equine operations, general animal shelter food, and ancillary supplies for facility management rather than sorghum specifically. The issuing bodies include county governments, cities, and special-purpose animal-care authorities managing public facilities such as horse parks, county farms, and animal shelters. The scope typically covers supply delivery on demand or routine scheduling, with specifications managed through minimum-specification documents or project-by-project pricing requests, and performance emphasizes reliability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with local vendor and business-opportunity requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and North Carolina, with a standing pre-qualification program in Florida. DeKalb County (Georgia) posted an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings for Little Creeks Horse Farm with a response due July 23, 2026, and a three-year initial term with two one-year options; the City of Conyers (Georgia) issued an RFP for equine waste removal and feed and hay sales at the Georgia International Horse Park with an August 27, 2026 response deadline and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit on August 3, 2026. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control (North Carolina) solicited a competitively procured contract for shelter food supply to support approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities, with proposals due June 24, 2026. Palm Beach County (Florida) maintains a standing Request for Pre-Qualification for animal feed, bedding, and supplies vendors, with an anticipated total contract value of $1,095,000 over sixty months and rolling vendor registration; that program applies the Equal Business Opportunity requirement with demographics-based categorizations and reserves separate formal competitive sealed bidding for projects at or above $100,000.
