UNSPSC 95122502: Cowshed

A building or structure used for the housing of bovines

UNSPSC 95122502 Cowshed, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of agricultural production facilities and related structures. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the nominal scope—the five tagged solicitations span multi-use trails, bridge replacements, security controls, restrooms, office renovations, and fairground buildings, none of which are cowsheds or agricultural housing. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local buyers are tagging construction and infrastructure projects across diverse facility types to this classification, suggesting either data quality issues in the underlying procurement systems or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how jurisdictions are applying it in practice.

The issuing bodies soliciting under codes nominally related to this tier include county boards of commissioners (Flagler County, Orange County, White County in Florida and Georgia; Brevard County), city and county departments (Dalton Parks and Recreation, DeKalb County School District, Santa Clara County), state parks systems (Texas Parks and Wildlife), and transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), with no pattern of repeat buyers specific to agricultural or animal-housing work. Geographic activity centers on Florida (Flagler, Orange, Brevard, and Sarasota counties) and Georgia (White, DeKalb, and Tybee Island), with secondary activity in Texas and California. Recent tagged opportunities include Flagler County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for construction of two hurricane-resilient buildings at the Flagler County Fairgrounds (response due August 17, 2026) and Orange County, Florida's IFB for multi-use trail and utility improvements (response due August 13, 2026), neither involving animal agriculture or cowshed work. Because the code taxonomy and actual procurement activity diverge substantially, business development professionals should verify UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies before positioning capabilities around this code.
