UNSPSC 10121802: Moist food for dogs

UNSPSC 10121802 Moist food for dogs, a Commodity code, covers supplies for institutional and municipal animal care operations—specifically prepared wet or canned dog food formulations procured by city animal services, police K-9 units, county animal shelters, and state law-enforcement canine training programs. State and local governments purchase moist dog food to support working dogs in police departments, shelter animals in municipal and county facilities, and canine units across various operational settings. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily municipal procurement offices (City of Philadelphia), county animal care agencies (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control, Williamson County), and state enforcement agencies (Illinois State Police, San Antonio Police Department). Philadelphia's procurement office emerges as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple dog food solicitations in recent months.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas (San Antonio Police Department, Williamson County) and North Carolina (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control), with substantial recent volume in Illinois (Illinois State Police three-year supply contract) and Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Philadelphia's IFB for dog food and treats posted July 10, 2026, with a bid due date of July 24, 2026, under contract B2727528 with a maximum value of $45,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U; San Antonio Police Department's RFO 6100019373 for annual canine unit dog food with a July 10, 2026 proposal deadline; the Illinois State Police's three-year supply contract (B-50745) for brand-name dog food formulations including Kinetic Performance, Royal Canin, Hill's Prescription Diet, and Purina Pro Plan Sport, covering approximately 2,930 bags, with pricing firm through the contract term ending June 30, 2029; and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control's Shelter Food Supply Program solicitation posted May 27, 2026, serving approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities. Most solicitations are awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on competitive quote or bid processes; the Philadelphia contracts specify micro-purchase authority with awards made as a whole or by line item at the City's discretion.
