UNSPSC 50102600: Nuts not for human consumption.

Any large, oily kernel found within a shell, cultivated and used in or as food, excluding wild groundnuts not intended for human consumption.

UNSPSC 50102600 Nuts not for human consumption is a Class code that in recent state and local activity maps primarily to transit-authority procurement of industrial fasteners—elastic stop nuts, hex nuts, and Grade 8 fasteners in small unit packages—rather than agricultural or animal-feed products. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) dominates the recent opportunity stream under this code, having posted five separate fastener procurements in January 2026 alone, all soliciting small-volume consumable supplies for maintenance and operational use. These are straightforward goods purchases with short response windows (typically seven days), FOB Destination freight terms required, and Net 30 payment terms; DART enforces strict delivery schedules and uses the BONFIRE platform for bid submission. One outlier opportunity—Riverside County, California's RFB for Cla-Val parts warehouse inventory posted January 21, 2026, with a February 13, 2026 deadline—sits tangentially in the code but involves specialized industrial components rather than commodity fasteners. A single unrelated water-treatment construction project (City of Lavonia, Georgia, sealed bid due May 26, 2026) is also tagged to this code despite encompassing facility upgrades with no fastener-procurement component, indicating classification misalignment.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority) and California (Riverside County), with one Georgia outlier. DART represents the core buyer under this code, posting routine consumable-fastener purchases with response deadlines in late January 2026 (solicitations 2097554, 2097609, 2097625, and 2097736). No set-aside designations, small-business preferences, or disadvantaged-enterprise requirements appear in DART's fastener procurements, which are open to all qualified suppliers meeting commercial-warranty and delivery-compliance standards. Payment consistency across DART opportunities—Net 30, invoice submission in triplicate to APInvoices@dart.org, termination for default on missed delivery schedules—suggests established procurement infrastructure and repeat buying patterns favorable to vendors able to meet tight lead times and FOB Destination terms.
