UNSPSC 50102512: Pistachio nuts, shelled

A tree nut with the shell removed.

UNSPSC 50102512 Pistachio nuts, shelled (Commodity) does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve assorted snack products, general food and consumable supplies, and weekly food orders for institutional facilities — bulk canteen, food-service, and supply-chain purchasing that encompasses multiple snack and food categories rather than pistachio nuts specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted two iterations of the same canteen-snack IFB at Rusk State Hospital (HHS0017763 and HHS0017763V2, due August 4 and August 21, 2026, respectively), specifying eight line items including trail mix, peanut butter and jelly crackers, salted peanuts, and sunflower seeds, with historical spend of $30,000 over the prior twelve months. A broader HHSC food-and-consumables IFB (HHS0017449) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, covers food and consumable products under multiple NIGP classes with $1.5 million in prior-period spend. These are institutional supply contracts rather than commodity procurement of a single nut variety.

The issuing-body mix includes state health and human services agencies — principally HHSC in Texas — alongside Illinois and Georgia state procurement offices. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with two HHSC solicitations posted in July and August 2026 and a third in June 2026. The Illinois and Georgia opportunities posted in June 2026 provide less detail in available summaries. The code shows little relevant recent activity for pistachio nuts as a distinct commodity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the institutional-supply nature of the recent opportunities signals that buyers are using this code tag inconsistently or that pistachio-specific procurement under this code is not active in state and local markets right now.
