UNSPSC 50102601: Pistachio nuts, in shell

Processed in shell not for human consumption.

UNSPSC 50102601 Pistachio nuts, in shell is a Commodity code that captures individual specialty nut products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show this code applied to wholesale grocery procurement for school districts, state health and human services facilities, and institutional cafeterias. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and special-purpose nutrition service entities. The work involves supplying food products—including nuts, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—through master grocery contracts, quarterly food orders, and multi-line-item produce and staple-goods procurements with firm fixed pricing and delivery requirements to schools, warehouses, and state facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with posted opportunities from Georgia (Douglas County School System RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and food supply and distribution, issued February and January 2026), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB, April 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items IFB, March 2026), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission food and consumables IFB for El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026), and Illinois (State of Illinois quarterly food order, June 2026). Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering weekly delivery of food products to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens throughout the county, Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026), and Douglas County's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending (due March 4, 2026). Contracts typically run July through June school-year cycles with renewal options, require firm fixed pricing, mandate delivery within specified time windows, and impose insurance and food safety compliance requirements.
