UNSPSC 50501902: Veterinary multinutrient block

Block that provides micro-organisms rich in sources of nutrients for animals.

UNSPSC 50501902 Veterinary multinutrient block is a Commodity code covering animal feed, supplements, and related supplies procured by state agencies, county governments, and special-purpose districts to support livestock operations, correctional facilities, and animal shelter functions. The work being solicited under this code spans routine feed and hay supply contracts for county-operated horse farms, large-scale agricultural procurement by state correctional and public safety departments, and veterinary pharmaceutical and clinic supplies for municipal animal shelters. State and local buyers treat this code broadly to encompass not only mineral and nutrient blocks but also bulk feed commodities, hay, animal medications, vitamins, and clinical supplies when supporting animal husbandry and care operations.

The issuing bodies include county governments operating agricultural properties (DeKalb County, Georgia), state-level procurement divisions managing supplies for multiple departments (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts serving the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Department of Public Safety), and county regional animal shelters (Williamson County, Texas). Recent opportunities span Georgia and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include DeKalb County's ITB 2026-085-ITB for feed, hay, and shavings to Little Creek Horse Farm (response due July 23, 2026, three-year contract with two one-year options, same-day delivery required); the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-325M2.1 for animal feed, vitamins, and supplements across 26 line items including 240 tons of cottonseed hulls, 10,000 tons of yellow corn, and 18,200 bales of coastal bermuda hay to support TDCJ and DPS facilities (sealed responses due May 27, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time, pre-bid conference May 14, 2026, contract runs through August 31, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals); and Williamson County's IFB 26IFB24 for veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies including oral medications for the Regional Animal Shelter (response due April 23, 2026, one-year initial term with optional 12-month extensions up to 36 months total). Texas reciprocal preference applies to the state procurement, and Williamson County maintains a local preference allowing bids within three percent of the lowest to receive consideration if the bidder's principal place of business is in Williamson County.
