UNSPSC 50171560: Nutmeg, raw

A spice and aromatic product

UNSPSC 50171560 Nutmeg, raw is a Commodity code for which state and local governments show minimal relevant procurement activity. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code in fact solicit broad food service and grocery supply contracts—such as frozen proteins, dairy, fresh produce, canned goods, and consumable kitchen supplies—rather than spices or raw nutmeg specifically. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state departments (Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These jurisdictions procure food and consumable products for state supported living centers, cafeteria operations, senior services, and institutional food service across multiple locations, using IFB, RFQ, and informal written quote processes with firm, fixed unit pricing and strict specification compliance.

The recent activity spans Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Mexia State Supported Living Center, TDCJ cafeteria procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Community Services, Georgia state procurement), and Illinois (IVHQ quarterly food order), with contract values ranging from approximately $158,000 to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. Representative recent solicitations include Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with $1.5 million historical value for the prior period), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026), and Texas TDCJ's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations with approximately 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and produce (extended due date May 4, 2026). The code shows no isolated recent procurement of raw nutmeg and appears to be a categorical mislabeling of broader institutional food service contracting.
