UNSPSC 10122102: Mink food

UNSPSC 10122102 Mink food (Commodity) encompasses animal feed products sourced by state and local governments for operational animal-care facilities, though recent solicitations under this code reflect a broader scope of equine and shelter animal nutrition rather than mink-specific procurement. The work being solicited includes routine supply of hay, feed formulations, and animal bedding materials to support daily operations at county and municipal animal-care divisions, shelters, and specialized equine facilities. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, municipal procurement departments, and independent animal-care authorities such as animal shelters and county farm operations.

Recent activity spans Georgia and North Carolina, with Solano County in California also posting under the code. Representative opportunities include Solano County's IFB 325-0910-25 (Animal Feed Products, due September 26, 2024), DeKalb County's ITB 2026-085-ITB for feed, hay, and shavings at Little Creek Horse Farm (due July 23, 2026), the City of Conyers' RFP for equine waste removal and feed sales at the Georgia International Horse Park (due August 27, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal meeting August 3, 2026), and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control's competitive solicitation for Shelter Food Supply Program serving approximately 12,000 animals annually across two facilities (due June 24, 2026). Contracts range from routine commodity purchases with quick turnaround to longer-term arrangements—the Conyers contract runs ten years with a five-year extension option, and DeKalb's horse-farm contract spans three years with two one-year options. Delivery typically occurs within one calendar day of request, and vendors must meet standard insurance and hazardous-materials compliance requirements.
