UNSPSC 50171557: Vanilla, raw

A spice and aromatic product

UNSPSC 50171557 Vanilla, raw is a Commodity code. State and local governments are not buying raw vanilla through recent solicitations tagged to this code. The recent opportunities block contains 16 school nutrition procurement notices (Georgia, Texas, and Missouri school districts and state agencies) seeking sealed bids or RFPs for comprehensive food product categories including proteins, produce, dairy, grains, beverages, paper supplies, and chemicals to support child nutrition programs and institutional food service. None of these solicitations identify vanilla—raw or processed—as a line item, component ingredient, or product category. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work documented in recent opportunities indicates this Commodity code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

If your firm targets school nutrition and institutional food service supply chains, monitor related Family and Class codes that span food product procurement more broadly (such as codes covering produce, spices and seasonings, or bulk food ingredients), where vanilla and other specialty ingredients may appear as subordinate line items within larger food distribution contracts. The recent activity demonstrates sustained, high-volume procurement from school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Missouri for school year 2026–2027, with response dates clustered between February and July 2026 and annual contract values reaching into the millions of dollars, but vanilla procurement at the Commodity level is not yet visible in the current market.
