UNSPSC 50151520 Sunflower oil (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between January and July 2026 under this code involve broad grocery and food-service procurement — cafeteria food products, master grocery K-12, fresh produce and eggs, and general food and consumable products for institutional facilities — but none specifically solicit sunflower oil or cooking oils as line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products lists proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, baking supplies, condiments, and canned and fresh vegetables, with no mention of oils. Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract and Rockwood School District's Child Nutrition Services solicitation encompass over 900 and 900+ line items respectively across snacks, produce, beverages, condiments, and prepared entrees, but neither solicitation documentation explicitly names cooking oils or sunflower oil as distinct procurement categories. The Douglas County School System RFPs for food supply and distribution and fresh produce and eggs similarly focus on entrees, produce, eggs, grains, and staple items without oil-specific line items.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ, State of Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing arrangements (GEC Buying Cooperative). The geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri. Without recent solicitations specifically naming sunflower oil as a deliverable, pursue this code only if your customer intelligence indicates that institutional food service procurement offices are carving out oil procurement as a separate line item or bundled category; the current recent-opportunity record shows the commodity receives minimal or no discrete procurement activity under this UNSPSC classification.
