UNSPSC 50192803: Shelf stable savory pies or quiches or pasties

UNSPSC 50192803 Shelf stable savory pies or quiches or pasties (Commodity) describes prepared foods that state and local governments source for institutional food service — canteen operations, dining facilities, commissary programs, and kitchen supplies at state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and university dining operations. The recent solicitations show that while the code nominally names pies, quiches, and pasties, state procurement offices are actually buying a much broader range of shelf-stable and frozen prepared foods, including French fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, specialty snack items, bakery mixes, and miscellaneous food products alongside traditional service supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois DVOA, Georgia), correctional departments (Texas TDCJ), universities (University of Wisconsin-Madison), veterans services (Illinois veterans homes), and occasionally county jails (Marion County, Oregon). Texas Health and Human Services dominates the recent activity, issuing multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals across El Paso, Lufkin, and Rusk facilities.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; the State of Illinois weekly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026), brand-specific; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products supplying TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026), encompassing approximately 382 line items with delivery to six distribution points statewide. The Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026) listed a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and required bidders to respond to a minimum of 95 percent of specified line items. Marion County, Oregon approved a special procurement with Keefe Commissary Network, LLC for interim commissary and trust accounting services to the jail, including snacks and hygiene products. Contracts typically run annual or multi-quarter terms with renewal options and F.O.B. Destination or prepaid-freight delivery requirements; bidders must meet firm pricing, delivery timeline, product specification, and vendor-performance criteria.
