UNSPSC 50192701: Fresh combination meals

UNSPSC 50192701 Fresh combination meals (Commodity) represents institutional and school food service procurement for assembled, ready-to-consume meal components and full meal kits. State and local governments procure under this code packaged breakfast sets, unitized lunch trays, prepared entrees, congregate senior meals, and catering event food for schools, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, senior programs, and workforce meal services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, school nutrition programs across rural and urban districts, county boards of education, municipal authorities, transit agencies, and aging-services operators. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears repeatedly as a major buyer across multiple state-operated facilities; school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas dominate the recent activity, each soliciting annually for meal programs serving hundreds to thousands of daily meals.

The geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Texas and Georgia, where state-level procurement and school district nutrition programs generate consistent activity, with secondary activity in Connecticut, California, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's frozen food products solicitation (HHS0017338, July 2026, estimated $9 million annual volume to serve 18 qualified ordering entities statewide across state hospitals and supported living centers), the New Haven Board of Education's grocery and breakfast meal solicitation (RFP 2026HYRFPCNH340 and 2026HYRFPCNH349, June 2026, supporting 17,500–19,000 daily meals across 224 service days with mandatory 25% minority and women-owned business participation), Northside Independent School District's food and catering services bid (IFB 2026-061, June 2026, covering 34 product categories for after-school events and functions), and the City of Edinburg CACFP meal program RFP (RFP 2026-017, August 2026, serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference). Tattnall County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County and Burke County school nutrition programs (Georgia), and Colquitt County School Nutrition (Georgia) all posted bids in May and June 2026 for food and paper goods supporting school year 2026–2027. Pasco County Florida's senior congregate and home-delivered meal services RFP (RFPLK26045, May 2026) and CAL FIRE's 2026 sack lunch RFO (April 2026) represent smaller-scale but recurring meal assembly and delivery procurement outside the K–12 and state-facility core.
