UNSPSC 50192405: Processed royal jelly food

A type of food which has the raw royal jelly or main raw material in raw royal jelly for easy consumption by processing with liquid, paste, powder, granule, tablet, capsule and others.

UNSPSC 50192405 Processed royal jelly food (Commodity) covers assorted-flavor jelly packets, which state and local governments purchase primarily as food service consumables for institutional meal programs in correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school districts. The recent solicitation activity shows Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and Texas Health and Human Services Commission as the dominant buyers, with TDCJ issuing multiple blanket purchase agreements for jelly packet supply to different distribution centers and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily state agencies — correctional departments and health and human services commissions — rather than counties, cities, or school districts; the activity reflects centralized procurement for state-run institutions rather than decentralized local food service purchasing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where TDCJ posted four nearly identical blanket solicitations (IW258288, IW258289, IW258290, IW258292) on July 13, 2026, all due July 27, 2026, for assorted-flavor jelly packet delivery to distribution centers in Snyder, Beeville, Rosharon, and Huntsville. The Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including jelly items at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, referencing a prior-period spending level of $1.5 million across all food items. The code shows no significant recent activity outside Texas, and sourcing appears limited to state-level institutional food service supply rather than the broader grocery or food-product procurement streams visible under related UNSPSC categories. Vendors responding to TDCJ solicitations must register and submit electronically through the TDCJ Bonfire procurement portal with Leslie Bowers, CTCD, as the primary contact.
