UNSPSC 50131707: Cream, fresh

Milk product produced from the butterfat layer of milk

UNSPSC 50131707 Cream, fresh (Commodity) addresses fresh dairy products for institutional food service, with state and local governments purchasing cream as a line item within broader grocery and dairy product solicitations for hospitals, state-supported living centers, and school districts. Recent solicitations show cream supplied alongside milk, juices, and other dairy staples as part of blanket food-service contracts, with quantities ranging from case-lot minimums to weekly standing orders at multiple delivery locations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies managing institutional cafeterias, county and independent school districts operating K-12 nutrition programs, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles bundling multiple jurisdictions into single contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission emerges as a repeat buyer, soliciting dairy products statewide for hospital and residential-care networks; school districts dominate the recent activity, with districts in Texas, Georgia, and Florida all requesting dairy products including cream as part of master grocery or nutrition-focused RFPs and IFBs. Evaluation criteria typically weight price heavily but include past performance, vendor capability to meet delivery schedules and cold-chain requirements, and ability to serve multiple locations simultaneously.
