UNSPSC 50182004: Frozen savory biscuit dough

UNSPSC 50182004 Frozen savory biscuit dough is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen dough products for baked goods, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code appears minimal — the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for frozen biscuit dough. Instead, frozen dough would fall within broader food service procurement for school nutrition, institutional food service, and specialized dietary programs, where vendors supply frozen prepared items as components of meal service contracts or as standalone products for in-house preparation.

State and local food service activity is dominated by school districts, with smaller volumes from state health and human services agencies purchasing for residential care facilities. The geographic spread of recent food-service procurement activity centers on Texas (Dallas ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio, HHSC statewide, Texas State Health Services), Georgia (City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, Early County Schools), and Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). School districts typically solicit food products through IFB or RFP vehicles for annual or multi-year school nutrition contracts with response windows of 30 to 60 days; state health and human services agencies issue separate solicitations for institutional food supplies to state hospitals and residential facilities. Representative school-district opportunities include Northside ISD's IFB 2026-061 for food, restaurants, catering services, and concessions (due June 11, 2026), which covered 34 product categories and explicitly required vendor participation or risk losing business with the district, and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026), emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain specifications. Institutional procurement includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and firm, fixed unit-rate pricing requirements. Most school district awards default to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value criteria; contracts typically run July through June with one to three renewal options, and vendors must carry general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million and comply with Buy American provisions, E-Verify, and USDA Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act standards.
