UNSPSC 50182000: Cakes and pies and pastries

UNSPSC 50182000 Cakes and pies and pastries is a Class code that encompasses fresh bakery products, bread items, and related baked goods supplied to state institutions, school districts, and municipalities. State and local governments procure under this code primarily to stock institutional food service operations—state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and school district cafeterias—where bakery items form a routine component of meal service and canteen operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, and city procurement offices. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears as a dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for bread and bakery products to supply its network of state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, with HHSC soliciting bread and bakery products under IFB HHS0017445 (responses due July 13, 2026) covering over 50 line items including sandwich breads, specialty buns, rolls, bagels, and tortillas for delivery to multiple facilities with a historical annual spend of $2,000,000, and a revised version (HHS0017445V2, responses due August 19, 2026) under the same scope. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for food and beverages including bakery items for the Kensington Blitz event (B2728003, due September 15, 2026). Katy Independent School District in Harris County, Texas, solicited restaurant catering and mobile food services including baked goods through RFP 2402AK-B (due June 15, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a procurement for food, supplies, and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with scope details in an attached document. HHSC contracts typically run September 1 through August 31 with renewal options, impose strict delivery windows (7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., excluding 11:00 a.m. to noon), require minimum 90-day product freshness guarantees, and hold vendors responsible for complaint resolution and investigation costs.
