UNSPSC 50192304: Edible ice cream cups or cones

UNSPSC 50192304 Edible ice cream cups or cones is a Commodity code covering packaged frozen dessert products—primarily ice cream cups, cones, sandwiches, and novelty items—that state and local governments procure for school meal programs, parks and recreation concessions, and food service operations. School districts account for the dominant share of recent solicitation activity under the code, with additional demand from county parks departments and state-level food service procurements. The work is straightforward product supply with weekly or scheduled delivery, compliance with nutritional standards (especially USDA Smart Snacks requirements in school settings), temperature-controlled logistics, and ongoing inventory management at customer sites.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri school districts and county systems. Pinellas County School District in Florida posted an IFB (26JG019) due May 27, 2026, seeking ice cream products for 117 facilities with estimated contract value of $500,000 over two years and strict compliance with USDA Smart Snacks nutritional caps (200 calories, ≤200 mg sodium, ≤35% sugar by weight); Klein Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP (BID26237) with April 24, 2026 deadline for ice cream products across all 50 campuses, weighted 70 percent on price with mandatory compliance to Texas Senate Bill 314 (synthetic dyes and preservatives ban) and domestic-origin requirements under the National School Lunch Program; Jackson County Missouri Parks and Recreation Department solicited a 12-month supply contract (ITB 26-024) due May 5, 2026, for concessions delivery to nine locations with estimated annual spend of $25,000 and a requirement for five years' prior municipal experience; and the State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products RFP (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. No significant set-asides or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises appear in the school district solicitations reviewed. Vendors should expect firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with price escalation limited to CPI-U or manufacturer-announced increases, electronic bid submission through district portals (OpenGov, Bonfire), insurance minimums in the $1 million to $2 million range, and product sample or taste-testing requirements prior to award.
