UNSPSC 50182003: Frozen pastry dough

UNSPSC 50182003 Frozen pastry dough, a Commodity code, covers frozen prepared baked goods and dough products that state and local governments source for institutional food service operations across schools, state facilities, and parks. State and local buyers procure frozen pastry dough as one line item within broader food-service contracts serving cafeterias, dining facilities, and concession operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Department of Public Health), school districts (Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio), counties (Collier County Parks and Recreation), and state veterans' facilities. The category sits within mixed procurement vehicles—some jurisdictions issue dedicated food-supply IFBs combining frozen, refrigerated, and dry goods across 100+ line items; others procure through quarterly or annual rolling food-order contracts with brand-specific or brand-or-equal specifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017338 in July 2026 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 106 line items with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential value of $19 million over the full contract period through August 2028; bids closed August 18, 2026. Illinois Central Procurement Office ran recurring quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June, July, and August 2026 under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, with response deadlines between June 17 and August 24, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB with approximately 300+ food line items including bread products due June 8, 2026, serving three schools through June 2027. School districts and state health agencies appear to be the dominant repeat buyers under this code, with contracts typically running 12 months with renewal or extension options at flat or CPI-indexed pricing.
