UNSPSC 11131603: Excretions

UNSPSC 11131603 Excretions is a Commodity code that frames animal waste and byproducts, though state and local procurement activity tagged under it centers instead on animal feed and supplies for institutional animal care and husbandry. Harris County Public Health Services Office issued an ITB for pet clinic supplies and related items due July 27, 2026; DeKalb County issued an ITB for feed, hay, and shavings for Little Creek Horse Farm due July 23, 2026, on a three-year contract with two one-year options requiring one-calendar-day delivery; and Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services issued an ITB for chicken lay crumbles on the AggieBid platform with a January 27, 2026 closing. The issuing bodies span county health services, county animal husbandry operations, and state higher-education institutions, each using the code to tag procurement for ongoing farm and animal-care operations rather than excretions themselves.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with DeKalb County and Texas A&M University as visible repeat procurement participants in early 2026. The geographic and issuing-body distribution is limited; the source reflects only three opportunities across the period shown, all ITBs with compressed timelines and minimal public detail on specifications or award values. The code's alignment with actual buying practice is unclear — the opportunities posted show animal feed and supplies procurement that might fit higher in the taxonomy, and no recent solicitations directly address excretions as a product or service line. Vendors pursuing work under this code should expect animal feed and facility-supply contracting from county and state institutional buyers, particularly those operating farms or animal clinics, though the code's current activity signal is weak.
