UNSPSC 10122102: Mink food

UNSPSC 10122102 Mink food (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The four recent opportunities tagged to this commodity code solicit animal feed, bedding, hay, and shavings for equine facilities, county horse farms, animal shelters, and county animal-supply programs — none of which involve mink feed or mink-specific procurement. The City of Conyers is seeking an RFP response for equine waste removal, shavings sales, hay and feed delivery, and golf cart rentals at the Georgia International Horse Park (due August 27, 2026); DeKalb County posted an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings delivery to Little Creek Horse Farm (due July 23, 2026); Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control solicited feed for approximately 12,000 shelter animals annually (dogs, cats, and other domesticated species); and Palm Beach County established a pre-qualified vendor list for animal feed (excluding dog food), hay, bedding materials, and general animal supplies under a sixty-month term contract anticipated at $1,095,000 total. Issuing bodies include municipal governments, counties, and animal-care authorities. The issuing bodies vary in type but concentrate on public facilities managing horses, livestock, and shelter animals rather than fur-farm operations.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (Conyers, DeKalb County, and Decatur) and North Carolina and Florida, with no indication that the code title "mink food" aligns with actual procurement scope. The misalignment between the commodity code and the opportunities it captures signals either a tagging error in the state and local procurement databases or that mink-food procurement from state and local government sources is minimal to nonexistent in the current market. Business development professionals should verify the intended UNSPSC code against their target customer base before investing pursuit effort under this classification.
