UNSPSC 10121805: Moist food for cats

UNSPSC 10121805 Moist food for cats (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies are instead procuring dog food and related animal supplies—a category mismatch that reflects how some state and local procurement offices tag solicitations with codes that do not match the work actually being bought. The City of Philadelphia has posted multiple micro-purchase RFQs for dog food and treats with contract values around $43,000–$45,000 and response dates in May and July 2026. The San Antonio Police Department issued RFO 6100019373 for annual canine unit dog food with a July 10, 2026 response date. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control solicited a competitive contract for shelter food covering dogs, cats, and other species across two facilities serving approximately 12,000 animals annually, with a June 24, 2026 due date. Williamson County, Texas, and the Illinois State Police have both solicited veterinary pharmaceuticals, clinic supplies, and branded dog food products through Invitation for Bid processes. The code shows little relevant recent activity for moist cat food specifically.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities (Philadelphia), county animal control agencies (Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Williamson County), regional animal shelters, state police agencies (Illinois State Police, San Antonio Police Department), and special-purpose animal care districts. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (San Antonio, Williamson County), North Carolina (Charlotte-Mecklenburg), Illinois, and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), with Philadelphia appearing as a repeat buyer. Most opportunities are either one-time micro-purchases or multi-year requirements contracts with annual review, evaluated primarily on lowest price. Insurance and compliance requirements (workers' compensation, general and automotive liability, tax indebtedness certification, and nondiscrimination) are standard across solicitations. The City of Philadelphia's opportunities explicitly recognize LGBTQ business certifications and local business entity status, while Texas jurisdictions enforce anti-boycott compliance and local preference policies within three percent of the lowest bid.
