UNSPSC 10121509: Livestock salt

A form of salt designed to be fed to livestock. It helps to correct deficiencies in the rumen, thus increasing the population of microbial flora and thus forage digestion.

UNSPSC 10121509 Livestock salt is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect livestock salt procurement—they center instead on animal feed, hay, shavings, and equine facility services. The source shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations issued by state and local governments under this classification. The opportunities that do appear involve feed and forage supply contracts for county animal facilities, equine parks, and municipal animal shelters, which fall outside traditional livestock salt applications. The issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Solano County, DeKalb County), municipal governments (City of Conyers, City of Charlotte), and a specialized animal control agency (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and North Carolina, with one California solicitation. Representative opportunities include Solano County's animal feed products IFB 325-0910-25 (due September 26, 2024), DeKalb County's feed, hay, and shavings supply contract for Little Creek Horse Farm (ITB 2026-085-ITB, due July 23, 2026), the City of Conyers' equine waste removal and feed sales RFP for the Georgia International Horse Park (due August 27, 2026, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit), and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control's shelter food supply program (due June 24, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in livestock salt proper; the opportunities present are animal feed and facility-supply contracts that happen to be tagged under this commodity classification.
