UNSPSC 10121505: Hay

UNSPSC 10121505 Hay (Commodity) covers the direct supply and delivery of hay products to state and local government end users, grounded in recent solicitations for baled hay in specified grass and legume mixtures, alfalfa varieties, and straw delivered to equestrian facilities, correctional institutions, and wildlife management areas. Issuing bodies range across state departments (Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Nevada Department of Corrections, Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet), counties (DeKalb County, Dallas County), cities (City of Conyers, City of Lubbock), and special-purpose facilities (Kentucky Horse Park, Georgia International Horse Park). Scope spans routine hay and straw supply contracts with standing annual or multi-year orders (timothy grass, orchard grass, alfalfa blends in bales of 40–80 pounds, with strict USDA quality standards and mold/weed/foreign-matter exclusions), through larger consolidated commodity buys (Texas TDCJ/DPS procurement for 18,200 bales of coastal bermuda hay and 9,100 bales of alfalfa across multiple prison units), to ancillary work bundled with hay sales (DeKalb County's Little Creek Horse Farm supply includes feed and shavings; City of Conyers' Georgia International Horse Park contract pairs exclusive hay and feed sales rights with stall-cleaning and waste-removal services).

Geographic activity clusters heavily in the South and Southwest—Texas (TDCJ, DPS, Parks and Wildlife, City of Lubbock, Dallas County), Georgia (City of Conyers, DeKalb County), Kentucky (Commonwealth procurement for the Horse Park), and Nevada (Department of Corrections). Representative opportunities include the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB for 3,000 alfalfa grass square bales to Big Bend Ranch State Park (response due July 16, 2026), the Commonwealth of Kentucky's recurring RFB for 129 tons of mixed hay and straw (timothy, orchard grass, alfalfa varieties) to the Kentucky Horse Park (most recent bid due May 13, 2026, with four prior postings between February and May 2026), DeKalb County's ITB for three-year supply of feed, hay, and shavings to Little Creek Horse Farm (response due July 23, 2026), and the City of Conyers' RFP for equine facility management including exclusive hay and feed sales (mandatory pre-proposal meeting August 3, 2026; response due August 27, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB for TDCJ and DPS (response due May 27, 2026) itemized 18,200 bales of coastal bermuda hay and 9,100 bales of alfalfa among 26 line items of animal feed and supplements. Terms typically run one to three years with optional renewals, F.O.B. destination pricing with unloading and delivery included, and delivery-performance scoring tied to seven-day-or-faster fulfillment windows.
