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 snack product line items within broader food-supply contracts for state-operated facilities. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct pistachio procurement; instead, state and local food-service contracts reference assorted snack products, specialty nuts, and trail-mix items as part of larger food-supply packages. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for canteen and food-service operations at state hospitals and supported living centers, bundling nuts, seeds, crackers, and other snack items into single procurement events with standardized pricing sheets. State and local governments are the primary buyers, with health and human services agencies and state-operated institutional facilities driving demand. Contract awards are made on best-value criteria incorporating specification compliance, past vendor performance, and price, with evaluation supported by the Texas CPA Vendor Performance Tracking System where applicable. Responses remain firm and binding for 240 days from submission, and Texas bidders may claim state-level preferences under applicable statutes; no HUB Subcontracting Plan is required but is encouraged when applicable.

Texas and Georgia show the most recent activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two sequential IFBs (HHS0017763, posted July 21, 2026, due August 4, 2026, and HHS0017763V2, posted August 6, 2026, due August 21, 2026) for assorted snack products at Rusk State Hospital, with prior-period spend of $30,000.00 and contract terms running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027 with a one-year renewal option. A separate, larger IFB (HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covered food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with prior spend of $1.5 million and similar contractual terms. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and the State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for FY-27 (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Individual nut products like pistachios are typically subsumed within these broader snack and food-supply procurements rather than solicited as standalone line items.
