UNSPSC 10121501: Pure wheat bran

UNSPSC 10121501 Pure wheat bran, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are overwhelmingly mismatched: three separate Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations (IFB IW268558, IW265961, IW261313) are requesting monocalcium phosphate, a mineral feed supplement and phosphate source unrelated to wheat bran; a Texas Comptroller statewide IFB (304T-26-325M2.1) encompasses a broad portfolio of animal feed products (cottonseed hulls, corn, hay, mineral supplements, and premix formulations) supplied to TDCJ and DPS facilities but does not isolate wheat bran as a line item; and two additional opportunities (DeKalb County's June 2026 ITB for feed and shavings for a horse farm, and Williamson County's April 2026 IFB for veterinary pharmaceuticals) fall entirely outside commodity feed supply. The code does not reflect meaningful current procurement volume in wheat bran as a standalone product line.

The only substantive activity appears in Texas, where the Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-325M2.1 (due May 27, 2026) represents the largest recent opportunity, encompassing 26 line items totaling substantial tonnage across multiple TDCJ prison farm units and requiring compliance with Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 141 standards, commercial feed licensing, minimum $500,000 commercial general liability insurance, and indexed pricing mechanisms tied to Producer Price Index or Chicago Board of Trade settlements. The TDCJ repeat procurement pattern (three monocalcium phosphate IFBs within three months under contacts Catherine Cain and the Bonfire portal) suggests active and recurring feed-input sourcing, but the continued code mismatch across all opportunities signals either systematic miscoding or that wheat bran supply does not register separately in recent state and local procurement channels. Firms pursuing commodity feed supply should monitor the Texas Comptroller's statewide aggregated IFBs and TDCJ purchasing directly rather than rely on this code for market signals.
