UNSPSC 50193102: Dessert mix

UNSPSC 50193102 Dessert mix is a Commodity code that covers instant pudding mixes, gelatin powder, and ready-to-serve pudding products supplied to state agencies, school districts, and institutional facilities. State and local governments procure these items primarily through statewide contracts and cooperative purchasing vehicles to support food service operations across child nutrition programs, state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The California Department of General Services established a statewide pudding and gelatin contract in spring 2026 estimated at $974,678.49 in combined annual spending across three product groups (instant pudding mix, vegetarian gelatin powder, and shelf-stable ready-to-serve pudding), with products meeting FDA standards and specific flavor and portion-size requirements. Illinois procured bakery mixes through the ComWell cooperative purchasing vehicle as a State Use Vendor contract, enabling pre-negotiated pricing across state agencies without individual competitive procurements. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices (California DGS, Illinois), school districts (Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County and Liberty County school systems in Georgia, Dallas Independent School District in Texas), and state institutional facilities (Texas HHS Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers). These procurements typically require firm fixed pricing for multi-year terms, compliance with food safety standards including FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, and delivery schedules accommodating institutional food service operations.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in California, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri. The California Department of General Services issued an IFB for pudding mix, gelatin, and ready-to-serve pudding by May 14, 2026, with a mandatory Bidders' Conference on May 6, 2026, estimated annual spending of $974,678.49 across three groups, and a two-year initial contract term with two optional one-year extensions and firm fixed pricing for the entire contract period. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumable products including pudding and gelatin items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical annual spending of $1.5 million and a contract maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years including renewal options. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas issued multiple IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food product procurement that encompass dessert items; Liberty County and Douglas County school systems in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas all posted food service bids in early 2026 with response dates between late February and late April 2026, serving thousands of daily meals across multiple school sites. The code shows sustained activity across state and local institutional food service buyers, with annual spending estimates indicating material procurement volume and multi-year contract structures that support ongoing vendor relationships.
