UNSPSC 50192100: Snack foods

UNSPSC 50192100 Snack foods is a Class code covering consumable prepared snacks and packaged food items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, employee/resident canteen operations, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state agencies, school districts, and correctional institutions buying individually packaged items such as honey roasted peanuts, french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, tortilla chips, animal crackers, ice cream, and related food service supplies (containers, napkins, foil, straws) bundled into broader consumables contracts. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, state supported living centers, independent school districts, and veterans' homes. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office appear as repeat solicitors, with multiple awards across state facilities and campuses.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Georgia, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (22 line items) at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; the Missouri Department of Corrections seeking sealed bids for individually packaged honey roasted peanuts for resale in nineteen correctional institutions across the Central and Eastern Region under IFB 300000276871665, bids due September 30, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications throughout 2026; West Hartford Nutrition Services (Connecticut) issuing RFP WHICECREAM2627 for ice cream products and delivery across sixteen school locations, proposals due June 5, 2026; and HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center soliciting food and consumable products under IFB HHS0017449 with historical annual value of $1.5 million, bids due July 13, 2026.
