UNSPSC 50193100: Instant mixes and supplies

UNSPSC 50193100 Instant mixes and supplies, a Class code, encompasses food products and supplies that state and local governments procure for institutional foodservice, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and community food distribution. Recent solicitations show that this code captures frozen prepared foods, bread products, candy, canteen and commissary items, grocery supplies for school meal programs, and packaged food components—not limited to dry instant mixes alone. The issuing bodies span school districts (Tattnall County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Coffee County School Nutrition Program, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Michigan Department of Corrections, State of Georgia), county health departments (Gwinnett County), correctional facilities, and community organizations (Community Renewal Team, Inc.). School nutrition programs and state correctional commissary operations represent the largest share of recent activity under this code.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Connecticut. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued back-to-back IFBs for frozen foods and canteen candy at Rusk State Hospital (due August 10, 2026, and July 13, 2026, with historical spend guidance of $75,000 and $50,000 respectively); Tattnall County Board of Education solicited school nutrition food products for SY 2026–2027 (due July 22, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education sought grocery and food service supplies across 1,200+ line items (due June 26, 2026); Coffee County School Nutrition Program requested sealed bids for groceries (due June 18, 2026); and Gwinnett County requested meal packaging film rolls under IWQ 134178 (due August 7, 2026). Community Renewal Team, Inc. in Hartford, Connecticut, solicited daily whole wheat bread product delivery (due September 23, 2026) with annual volumes of 1,500 Pullman loaves and mixed roll packs. The Michigan Department of Corrections issued a $240 million five-year prisoner commissary award to Keefe Commissary Network, LLC (award recommended September 4, 2026). Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District solicited local groceries and miscellaneous store shelf items with an October 1, 2026, deadline. Pricing structures typically require firm fixed costs with delivery included; many school nutrition and institutional foodservice contracts run full fiscal or school years with optional renewals contingent on performance and funding availability.
