UNSPSC 50151700: Vegetable waxes

Waxes from vegetables

UNSPSC 50151700 Vegetable waxes, a Class code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition groceries, frozen foods for state hospital canteens, prison commissary and care package services, municipal grocery market retail operations, and school meal packaging film—none of which are vegetable waxes or wax-based products. The code appears misapplied across these opportunities; the solicitations center instead on food procurement, food distribution logistics, and related supplies for institutional feeding programs, state hospital operations, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include state agencies (Michigan Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Financial Services, State of Georgia), county school boards (Tattnall County, Coffee County, Hancock County in Georgia; Harlingen Consolidated ISD in Texas), and development authorities (Invest Atlanta). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, and Michigan, with the majority in the Southeast. Representative recent solicitations include the Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget's award recommendation for a $240 million, five-year prison commissary contract (RFP 260000001218, September 4, 2026); Gwinnett County, Georgia's IWQ 134178 for meal packaging film rolls (due August 7, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's frozen food and canteen supplies IFB HHS0017803 for Rusk State Hospital (due August 10, 2026, with historical annual spend of $75,000). School nutrition programs across multiple Georgia school districts and the Invest Atlanta RFP for food distribution services and municipal grocery market operators (due August 6, 2026) round out the activity. The code does not reflect genuine vegetable-wax procurement; business development professionals should verify correct UNSPSC classification before pursuit.
