UNSPSC 10121604: Poultry food

UNSPSC 10121604 Poultry food is a Commodity code covering specialized feed formulations for poultry breeding and production operations run by state agencies and universities. State and local buyers under this code procure manufactured poultry feed in bulk form—including starter, grower, maintenance, and breeder rations with precise protein levels, amino acid profiles, and mineral compositions—for wildlife propagation programs, university animal facilities, and other government-operated poultry operations. Issuing bodies include state natural resources departments and public universities; the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Texas A&M University both solicited under the code recently. Vendors must be experienced poultry feed manufacturers capable of meeting strict nutritional specifications, ingredient restrictions, and bulk delivery requirements, typically with general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and compliance certifications.
