UNSPSC 50181700: Baking mixes and supplies

UNSPSC 50181700 Baking mixes and supplies, a Class code, encompasses flour-based dry-mix products for institutional food service, including pancake and waffle mixes, specialty baking ingredients, and related consumable kitchen items. State and local governments purchase these products primarily through food service contracts for state-supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, school districts, and veteran homes. Recent solicitations show actual procurement focused on whole-grain-rich pancake and waffle mixes meeting nutritional specifications, specialty snack items for canteen operations, and bulk dry goods for kitchen operations serving incarcerated and residential populations.

Activity centers in Texas and Illinois, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission conducting multiple recurring IFBs for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, and the State of Illinois issuing quarterly food orders for veteran homes and approved State Use Vendor arrangements through cooperative purchasing. Recent representative opportunities include Granite School District (Utah) requesting bids for pancake and waffle mix with federal funding under IFB JB27-301 (due July 17, 2026), the State of Illinois issuing a Notice of Award for bakery mixes through the ComWell cooperative purchasing vehicle with JPMC as the selected vendor (August 10, 2026 notice period), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting consumables including food products for Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, also procured cafeteria food products including baking supplies across five geographic warehouse areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026). Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of criminal justice, university food service units, school districts, and county correctional facilities. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Illinois; secondary activity appears in Utah, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Oregon.
