UNSPSC 50102502: Brazil nuts, in shell

A tree nut still in its shell.

UNSPSC 50102502 Brazil nuts, in shell is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure Brazil nuts under this code as components of broader assorted snack or food supply contracts for institutional canteens, food service operations, and dining facilities at state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional or residential facilities. The recent opportunities show nuts appearing as line items within larger snack-product or food-supply bundles rather than as standalone bulk purchases. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, correctional or residential facilities, and state institutional food service operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple canteen and facility food-supply solicitations in the June–August 2026 window.

Activity spans Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, with the most recent opportunities concentrated in Texas institutional procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017763 for assorted snack products for Rusk State Hospital (posted July 21, 2026, due August 4, 2026), which listed salted peanuts and specialty snack items as line items with historical annual spend of $30,000 and a contract term of September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027; and the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), with prior-period spend of $1.5 million covering food service and canteen operations. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), and Illinois posted FY-27 IVHQ for quarterly weekly food orders (due June 26, 2026), though the full scope of both is contained in attached documentation not detailed in the summary records.
