UNSPSC 50102513: Hazelnuts, shelled

A tree nut with the shell removed.

UNSPSC 50102513 Hazelnuts, shelled (Commodity) describes individual tree nuts sold shelled and ready for consumption, but state and local procurement activity under this code focuses on broader snack-product and food-supply categories rather than hazelnuts specifically. The recent opportunities solicited by state health and human services agencies, facilities management offices, and food-service operations show that purchasing under this category centers on assorted snacks, trail mixes, specialty nuts, and packaged food items for institutional canteens, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Issuing bodies are primarily state departments of health and human services (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois state facilities, Georgia state procurement), procuring on behalf of state-operated institutions. Work is solicited through IFBs and open RFQs with standardized pricing sheets, firm-fixed unit rates, and 240-day price validity periods typical of recurring food-service and canteen operations.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Illinois, with Georgia also active. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two iterations of an IFB for assorted snack products for Rusk State Hospital (HHS0017763 and HHS0017763V2, due August 4 and August 21, 2026 respectively), with line items including trail mix, peanut butter and jelly crackers, salted peanuts, sunflower seeds, and mesquite-flavored snacks; the prior-year historical spend was $30,000.00. The same agency solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering broader food-service categories with prior-year spend of $1.5 million. Illinois issued a quarterly food-order RFQ for July–September (due June 26, 2026), and Georgia solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Contracts typically run September through August with optional renewal or extension at the agency's discretion. Set-asides and Texas bidder preferences apply where applicable; awards favor best overall value rather than lowest price.
