UNSPSC 50181905: Sweet biscuits or cookies

UNSPSC 50181905 Sweet biscuits or cookies (Commodity) covers packaged cookie and biscuit products that state and local governments procure primarily as components of broader food-service contracts for institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show this code appearing alongside bread, bakery items, and other groceries in comprehensive food supply bids rather than as standalone cookie procurements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Supplemental Food & Consumables IFB HHS0016792 and related bread-and-bakery solicitations (HHS0017445, HHS0017660) frame cookies and biscuits as line items within 200-plus-item food baskets serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School nutrition departments, correctional facilities, and developmental centers represent the primary buying mix. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county and independent school districts, and county boards of education across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and California.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (where HHSC conducts statewide food procurement for multiple facility types), Georgia (Henry County and Dougherty County school nutrition programs), Illinois (Department of Human Services facilities), Connecticut (Bridgeport school nutrition), Missouri (Rockwood School District and Department of Corrections), and California (Conejo Valley Unified School District). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0016792 Supplemental Food & Consumables solicitation (posted February 26, 2026, due February 23, 2026) exemplifies the scope: a 210-line-item IFB encompassing cookies, crackers, cereals, breads, proteins, and dairy products for 23 qualified ordering entities across state hospitals and living centers, with an estimated contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Similarly, the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery and bakery-items solicitations (posted June 2 and June 30, 2026) frame cookies as elements within broader school nutrition supply contracts subject to Buy American and nutritional-standard requirements. Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) and Henry County Schools' comprehensive food-items and fresh-bread procurements (multiple postings in March–May 2026) show school districts bundling cookies, biscuits, and snack items with other staples in consolidated supply contracts. The code shows steady baseline activity but no standalone cookie-focused solicitations, indicating integration into larger food-service awards rather than discrete commodity buys.
