UNSPSC 50102514: Chestnuts, shelled

A tree nut with the shell removed.

UNSPSC 50102514 Chestnuts, shelled is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within food procurement. State and local governments post limited direct solicitations for chestnuts alone; instead, they typically acquire shelled chestnuts as line items within broader food-supply contracts for institutional canteens, food service operations, and state-supported facilities. The recent opportunities block shows no standalone chestnut solicitations. Instead, the code appears as a potential classification within multi-item food procurement — particularly for state health and human services agencies purchasing assorted snack products and consumable food items for canteens, kitchens, and dining support at state hospitals and residential facilities.

The issuing bodies active in this commodity space are primarily state-level agencies: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia have all posted food-supply solicitations in the past four months. Texas HHS has been the most frequent recent buyer, with at least two IFB solicitations for snack products at Rusk State Hospital (posted July 21 and August 6, 2026, with response dates of August 4 and August 21, 2026 respectively) and a broader procurement for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). Illinois and Georgia each have one recent food-supply solicitation. No school districts, transit authorities, or counties appear in the recent opportunities block. The geographic concentration centers on Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois and Georgia. Because the source contains no standalone chestnut procurements, buyers pursuing this code should expect to compete within larger food-supply bundles or specialty snack categories rather than as a single-item vendor, and should monitor institutional food-service RFBs and IFBs from state health, corrections, and residential-care agencies for line-item opportunities.
