UNSPSC 50181908: Frozen bread dough

UNSPSC 50181908 Frozen bread dough, a Commodity code, appears in state and local school nutrition and institutional food service procurement, where districts and state agencies purchase frozen dough products as components of broader weekly and annual food supply contracts. Recent opportunities show school districts, state departments, and institutional facilities sourcing frozen bread dough alongside larger grocery, protein, and specialty food product categories rather than as a standalone line item. The code surfaces in competitive solicitations (RFP, RFQ, IFB) issued by school nutrition services, state institutional care facilities, and state purchasing offices, typically bundled within 200+ line-item food and consumable product procurement that includes frozen proteins, dairy, produce, bakery items, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include independent school districts of varying sizes, state departments managing institutional food service (state supported living centers, state hospitals, veterans homes), and cooperative purchasing groups serving multiple districts. The scope of work under this code reflects state and local governments' need for ready-to-use or minimal-preparation bread products for institutional meal service—school breakfast and lunch programs, state facility food service, and child nutrition operations—with product specifications typically requiring USDA compliance, specific pack sizes, shelf-life minimums (often nine months or longer for frozen items), and delivery within defined temperature windows (0 degrees Fahrenheit or below for frozen products).

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Illinois, with recent opportunities posted by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (statewide facilities), Douglas County School System and Henry County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and the Illinois Veterans Home (Illinois), among others. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 (Supplemental Food & Consumables Statewide, February 2026, 210 line items including bread and bakery products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (January 2026, estimated $9 million annual value for 32,000 meals daily), Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services IFB for Grocery Items 2026-2027 (March 2026, over 900 line items with delivery by April 29, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (April 2026, delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, bids due April 27, 2026). No solicitations under this code focus on frozen bread dough as a primary or standalone procurement; the commodity appears as one item within comprehensive food supply contracts, often listed alongside brand-specific equivalents and subject to firm fixed pricing for annual contract periods, typically July through June, with midterm price adjustment clauses tied to manufacturer increases of 5 percent or greater.
