UNSPSC 10121506: Oil cake

UNSPSC 10121506 Oil cake, a Commodity code, encompasses animal feed and forage products that state and local governments procure to support animal care operations, livestock management, and shelter functions. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are sourcing hay, feed, and animal bedding (shavings) for county animal facilities, municipal horse parks, and animal shelters. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Solano County, DeKalb County), municipal procurement departments (City of Conyers), and special-purpose animal care agencies (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control). The work spans routine supply contracts with one-year terms and competitive bidding cycles as well as long-term concession arrangements where feed and bedding sales are bundled with service delivery obligations such as stall cleaning and waste removal.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and North Carolina, with additional procurement in California. DeKalb County issued an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings to Little Creek Horse Farm with bids due July 23, 2026, as a three-year contract with two one-year renewal options and next-day delivery requirements. The City of Conyers posted an RFP due August 27, 2026 for equine waste removal, shavings sales, and feed delivery at the Georgia International Horse Park, structured as a ten-year exclusive concession with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 3, 2026. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control solicited proposals for the Shelter Food Supply Program with a June 24, 2026 closing date to supply food for approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities in North Carolina. Solano County issued an IFB for animal feed products due September 26, 2024 via electronic submission to support its Animal Care Services Division.
