UNSPSC 11131605: Bones

UNSPSC 11131605 Bones is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers animal feed and related supplies rather than the anatomical product the code name suggests. Harris County Public Health Services Office, DeKalb County, and Texas A&M University have posted ITBs for pet clinic supplies, horse feed and bedding, and chicken lay crumbles respectively. The issuing bodies span county health departments, county farm operations, and university procurement on behalf of animal-care facilities. The work is straightforward supply provision — feed, hay, shavings, and ancillary animal-husbandry items delivered on demand or standing orders, typically on short notice to institutional farm and veterinary operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. DeKalb County's three-year contract with two optional one-year renewals for feed, hay, and shavings delivery to Little Creek Horse Farm (ITB 2026-085-ITB, due July 23, 2026) and Harris County's ITB for pet clinic supplies (due July 27, 2026) represent active county-level procurement in Georgia and Texas respectively. Texas A&M University's January 2026 ITB for chicken lay crumbles (TAMU-ITB-4951) closed January 27, 2026, and required vendor registration on the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List or prior vendor notification to Texas A&M. The code shows modest recent activity with no national concentration — opportunities appear episodic and tied to individual animal-care operations within local government or state higher-education systems.
