UNSPSC 50181710: Bakers yeast

Rising agent used in baking

UNSPSC 50181710 Bakers yeast is a Commodity code encompassing fresh compressed baker's yeast supplied to institutional food-service operations — particularly correctional facilities, state health institutions, and school districts. State and local governments source this product in bulk packaging formats (such as 40-pound boxes containing individually wrapped 5-pound blocks) with weekly or regular delivery schedules tied to bakery production cycles. The issuing bodies are diverse: state corrections authorities, state health and human services departments, school districts (often through cooperative purchasing vehicles), and state procurement offices. Institutional bakeries in correctional facilities and residential care centers represent the primary use case, followed by food-service operations at schools and state-supported living centers.

California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority (CALCTRA) is a standout repeat buyer, issuing two IFBs for fresh compressed baker's yeast in quick succession — IFB RW2511011 posted January 27, 2026 with a February 10, 2026 due date, and IFB RW2511011A posted February 19, 2026 with a February 25, 2026 due date — both for approximately 86,400 annual pounds at the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 for food and consumable products (including baker's yeast) to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a July 13, 2026 due date and a historical contract value of $1.5 million across the prior 12-month period. The Georgia State Procurement Office and Douglas County School System have posted broader food-service solicitations that encompass yeast and other ingredients within larger competitive procurements, though detailed yeast quantities are not separately itemized in those notices. Recent activity clusters in California, Texas, and Georgia; California's two back-to-back CALCTRA yeast IFBs suggest sustained institutional demand. Standard terms require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, firm pricing for year one with mutual-agreement adjustments thereafter, Net 45 payment terms in correctional procurement, and compliance with state labor, safety, and insurance requirements including $1 million minimum general liability coverage.
