UNSPSC 50192802: Frozen savory pies or quiches or pasties

UNSPSC 50192802 Frozen savory pies or quiches or pasties, a Commodity code, represents food products that state and local governments source for institutional feeding, food service concessions, and school nutrition programs, though recent solicitations show the code is deployed broadly across frozen food procurement rather than narrowly on pies, quiches, and pasties alone. State agencies, school districts, counties, and public-health institutions are the primary buyers; the State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state hospitals and supported living centers), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, and Collier County Parks and Recreation all posted opportunities in the past four months. The work spans weekly food supply fulfillment to institutional kitchens, concession-stand provisioning at parks and recreational facilities, and USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. Institutional buyers typically specify firm fixed pricing, weekly or monthly delivery schedules, temperature and shelf-life requirements, USDA grading compliance where applicable, quarterly usage reporting, and commercial general liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2 million range.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB (HHS0017338) due August 18, 2026, for 106 line items of frozen food products—baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, vegetables, and specialty items—with estimated annual volume around $9 million and maximum potential value of $19 million over the full contract period, to supply 18 Qualified Ordering Entities across Texas; a prior HHSC supplemental food procurement (HHS0016792V2) covered fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products with maximum value of $4.5 million over three years. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats and response dates of June 17 and August 24, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 258360) due March 6, 2025, for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference and a three-year term. Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited line-by-line food and non-food bids (due June 8, 2026) for the National School Lunch Program across three schools; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio posted IFB 2026-061 (due June 11, 2026) for 34 product categories including prepared meals and catering services across 83 elementary, 21 middle, and 13 high schools.
