UNSPSC 50102500: Nuts excluding wild edible nuts and groundnuts

Any large, oily kernel found within a shell, cultivated and used in or as food, excluding wild groundnuts

UNSPSC 50102500 Nuts excluding wild edible nuts and groundnuts is a Class code that encompasses food products state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities on record show minimal activity tagged to this specific code. The recent solicitations actually named under this code are primarily for broader grocery and food supply contracts rather than nuts specifically. State and local issuing bodies—including school districts, state health agencies, and state departments—are sourcing food products through master grocery contracts, child nutrition services procurement, and facility food service agreements. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia have all issued recent IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive grocery supply that would encompass multiple food categories.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with solicitations posted in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and Illinois between January and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) seeking grocery product supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with historical monthly value of $1.5 million. These opportunities indicate that state and local procurement under this code in practice involves full-service grocery supply, produce, and consumable sourcing for schools, state facilities, and institutional food service operations rather than nuts as a narrowly defined commodity.
