UNSPSC 10141503: Horseshoes

UNSPSC 10141503 Horseshoes, a Commodity code, covers the supply and specification of horseshoes for state and local government operations, including specialty variants such as borium-applied shoes, rim shoes, and padded shoes used in mounted law enforcement and equestrian programs. State and local governments procure horseshoes through farrier services agreements that bundle shoeing labor with material supply, as well as through cooperative purchasing frameworks that extend to a broad range of public agencies. Issuing bodies include city police departments (particularly mounted units), county governments, and state-level cooperative purchasing intermediaries like Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types spanning law enforcement, higher education, school districts, and tribal governments.

The City of Albuquerque's Albuquerque Police Department posted a rebid (RFB 2025749POLDVREBID) in February 2026 seeking a four-year farrier services agreement that specifies steel horseshoes with borium application, full pads, and rim variants, with full replacements every twelve weeks and resets every six weeks at the APD Horse Mounted Unit stables; the bid closed March 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time through Bonfire eProcurement. Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota's local government cooperative purchasing unit, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, establishing a broader contracting solution for law enforcement equipment (under which horseshoes for mounted units would fall) available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada; proposals were due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.
