UNSPSC 10121805: Moist food for cats

UNSPSC 10121805 Moist food for cats (Commodity) covers wet and canned cat food products supplied to animal shelters, police and municipal canine units, and other government animal-care facilities. State and local governments procure moist cat and companion-animal feed products primarily through animal-care departments and shelter operations that house dogs, cats, rabbits, and small animals requiring nutritionally complete diets compliant with AAFCO nutrient profiles and WSAVA Global Nutrition Committee guidelines. The issuing bodies are county animal-care departments, city police canine units, municipal animal control agencies, and special-purpose animal shelters. Products solicited under this code must meet shelf-life requirements (typically 90 days minimum remaining), comply with FDA labeling standards, and exclude raw diets and grain-free formulations. Vendors commonly deliver weekly with 24-hour emergency delivery capacity available, maintain 95% fill rates and 90% on-time performance, and quote F.O.B. destination pricing on NET/30 terms.
