UNSPSC 10121508: Feed alfalfa or lucerne meal or pellets

Type of animal feed for herbivores.

UNSPSC 10121508 Feed alfalfa or lucerne meal or pellets is a Commodity code that covers animal feed products and related supplies procured by state and local animal care and service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show that jurisdictions are buying hay, feed, and bedding shavings for county and municipal animal facilities, including shelters, horse farms, and animal care divisions. The mix of issuing bodies includes county governments (Solano County, DeKalb County), municipal animal care departments (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control, City of Conyers), and specialized facility operators. Solicitations take the form of IFBs, ITBs, and RFPs, reflecting both straightforward commodity purchasing and complex, long-term service arrangements where feed and hay sales are bundled with facility management and waste removal services.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia. Solano County issued IFB 325-0910-25 for Animal Feed Products with a response deadline of September 26, 2024, managed through the OpenGov e-procurement platform and requiring electronic submission. DeKalb County solicited feed, hay, and shavings for Little Creek Horse Farm under ITB 2026-085-ITB (bid due July 23, 2026), with one-calendar-day delivery required to the farm in Decatur, Georgia. The City of Conyers issued an RFP for equine waste removal and hay and feed sales at the Georgia International Horse Park, with proposals due August 27, 2026 and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 3, 2026; the ten-year contract includes exclusive sales rights for feed and shavings in exchange for stall cleaning and manure removal. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control sought a competitively procured contract for the Shelter Food Supply Program (proposals due June 24, 2026) to supply food for approximately 12,000 animals annually across two Charlotte facilities.
