UNSPSC 42231801 Adult supplemental formulas or bars or puddings for general use is a Commodity code representing specialized nutritional products state and local health and human services agencies procure for eligible populations served under federal and state benefit programs. Recent activity under this code shows state health agencies sourcing infant formula for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) programs under rebate-based contracting structures, where manufacturers or authorized distributors bid discounts against nationally established wholesale pricing and remit rebate payments to the procuring agency. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission represents the dominant recent buyer under this code, soliciting multi-state WIC infant formula rebate contracts covering Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Work under this code involves managing complex rebate mechanics tied to manufacturer costs, maintaining strict compliance with federal WIC regulations, and delivering formula in multiple physical forms (concentrated liquid, powdered, ready-to-feed) to serve tens of thousands of monthly eligible participants across partner jurisdictions.

The Texas WIC infant formula rebate opportunity (IFB HHS0016707, due January 11, 2027) is the most recent and substantial activity visible under the code. The procurement anticipates awarding up to two contracts segregated by formula type (milk-based and soy-based) or a single combined contract to qualified vendors with a minimum two-year track record in formula rebate programs and current Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act registration. Bidders must demonstrate financial capacity across all participating jurisdictions where Texas alone averaged 178,075 monthly infant participants during October 2025–March 2026, with contract performance running October 1, 2027 through September 30, 2032 and a potential one-year extension. The code shows concentrated activity in the south-central region (Texas as lead, with Midwest partners Minnesota and Iowa participating jointly) and includes tribal entity participation through the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, reflecting the nationwide WIC program structure. No other recent opportunities under this code were identified in the source.
