UNSPSC 50102511: Walnuts, shelled

A tree nut with the shell removed.

UNSPSC 50102511 Walnuts, shelled is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers snack and food-supply items purchased for institutional canteen, food-service, and consumable operations at state-supported facilities. The scope of work under this code encompasses supply and delivery of specialty snack products including trail mix, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and gluten-free snack items, as well as broader food and consumable products supporting state-facility food service and on-campus programs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies procuring for state hospitals, state supported living centers, and institutional canteen operations. The mix skews heavily toward state agency procurement rather than local jurisdictions or school districts, with repeat activity from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two related IFBs for assorted snack products at Rusk State Hospital (HHS0017763, due August 4, 2026, and amended version HHS0017763V2, due August 21, 2026), with a historical-spend guideline of $30,000 annually; a broader food and consumable products IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with prior-period spend of $1.5 million. The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for the July-September quarter (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026), and the State of Georgia sought food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Texas procurements are evaluated on best value to the state, firm fixed pricing with CPI-based adjustment provisions, 240-day bid validity, and HUB participation encouragement where applicable.
