UNSPSC 10121803: Milk for dogs or cats

UNSPSC 10121803 Milk for dogs or cats (Commodity) covers fresh and shelf-stable milk products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and charter school food services. The code's nominal scope—pet milk—does not match recent solicitation activity; all recent opportunities involve human food service milk and dairy products for schools and institutional settings. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Pinellas County Schools (Florida), Muscogee County Schools (Georgia), Seminole County Schools (Florida), Henry County Schools (Georgia), and the Charter School Institute (Colorado); a Pennsylvania county correctional facility also sourced milk through this code. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education and Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued a grocery-items RFB spanning 1,100+ line items including dairy (due June 30, 2026). These jurisdictions procure white milk, chocolate milk, shelf-stable milk, flavored milk, and dairy products such as cottage cheese and sour cream in multiple package formats—8-ounce cartons, half-pint containers, gallons, and 5-gallon dispensers—with quantities ranging from hundreds to millions of units annually depending on district size.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with major school district solicitations in Florida (Pinellas, Seminole), Georgia (Muscogee, Henry), Colorado (Charter School Institute), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility). The Pinellas County Schools RFQ 26JG021 (due June 11, 2026) valued the initial two-year milk and dairy contract at approximately $22.5 million, with pricing for milk Group A fluctuating based on April 2026 raw milk costs and Groups B and C maintaining firm fixed pricing; delivery spans 117 district facilities three to two days weekly between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The Muscogee County Schools ITB 26-023 (due May 29, 2026) sought sixteen dairy line items with weekly delivery to all schools in delivery windows between 6:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and the Henry County Schools IFBs (due May 4, 2026) required weekly multi-location delivery with cold-storage capability and commodity management integration. All solicitations impose Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content), demand federal food-service compliance certifications, require general liability insurance of $1,000,000–$2,000,000, and enforce delivery scheduling and product sampling protocols. Pricing is typically firm fixed or indexed to dairy market indicators such as the Consumer Price Index or Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board minimums, with contract terms running one to two years plus renewal options.
