UNSPSC 50181900 Bread and biscuits and cookies, a Class code, encompasses the supply and delivery of fresh and packaged bread products, baked goods, and related items to state and local institutions including hospitals, developmental centers, correctional facilities, and school districts. State and local procurement offices soliciting under this code are buying sandwich breads, hamburger and hot dog buns, dinner rolls, specialty breads (whole grain, gluten-free), tortillas, croissants, and packaged biscuits and cookies, typically with weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple sites and firm fixed pricing for the contract term. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois DHS, California Department of State Hospitals), school districts and school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education, Katy ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Conejo Valley USD, Rockwood R-VI, West Hartford Public Schools), state departments of corrections (Texas TDCJ, Hall County correctional facility), and independent state facilities (developmental centers, mental health centers). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Illinois Department of Human Services appear repeatedly as high-volume repeat buyers, with HHSC soliciting statewide contracts covering multiple state hospitals and living centers.
