UNSPSC 50182001: Fresh cakes or pies or pastries

UNSPSC 50182001 Fresh cakes or pies or pastries is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure bread, bakery items, and related fresh food products for institutional food service operations — primarily hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts. Recent solicitations show the code capturing fresh and prepared bakery goods including sandwich breads, rolls, bagels, tortillas, and snack items alongside broader food service contracts where bakery and fresh prepared foods form one component of multi-category grocery supply.

Issuing bodies are concentrated in state health and human services agencies and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple bread and bakery-specific IFBs (HHS0017445 for bread and bakery products with responses due July 13, 2026, and HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables including bakery items with responses due March 19, 2026), while Katy Independent School District in Texas has solicited restaurant catering and concession stand vendor services (RFP 2402AK-B and RFP 2515YT). School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Henry County Schools, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia have all posted grocery supply contracts capturing bakery products as line items within broader master grocery or nutrition procurement. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and elsewhere across school districts nationwide. The Texas HHSC bread and bakery IFB (HHS0017445) covers delivery across multiple state facilities and reflects historical annual spend of $2,000,000, while the Douglas County Schools RFP projects approximately $9,000,000 in annual food supply expenditure. Master grocery contracts in school districts typically require minimum 76–100% item bid responsiveness and firm fixed pricing for the contract term, with delivery windows of 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays and quarterly or monthly reporting of fill rates and volumes by facility.
