UNSPSC 50181710: Bakers yeast

Rising agent used in baking

UNSPSC 50181710 Bakers yeast, a Commodity code, covers fresh compressed baker's yeast and dried torula yeast used in food production, institutional food service, and specialized applications such as medfly larval diet. State and local solicitations under this code reflect institutional buying — correctional facilities, state agriculture departments, health and human services agencies, and institutional food-service operations purchase yeast as a commodity input for on-site bakeries, food manufacturing, and research programs. The work involves supplying standardized yeast products in bulk (typically 40-pound to 50-pound packages or larger containers) against firm-fixed unit pricing and delivery schedules, with contract terms commonly running one to two years.

Recent activity spans California, Texas, and Georgia. The California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority issued IFB RW2611006 on October 2, 2026, for fresh compressed baker's yeast (86,400 pounds annually in 40-pound boxes) for the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility bakery, with bids due October 16, 2026. The California Department of Food and Agriculture posted RFQ P26-0068 on July 15, 2026, for 40,000 pounds of food-grade torula yeast (with an additional 40,000 pounds to follow six months later) as a component of medfly larval diet, with quotes due August 4, 2026 and California Certified Small Business preference available. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products (including yeast under NIGP categories) to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 13, 2026 and a historical annual value of $1.5 million. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026), with detailed scope in an attached document.
