UNSPSC 50193400: Food baskets

A food basket corresponds to a box or basket containing various foods. They can be used as gifts, in commemorations, or as benefit to employees.

UNSPSC 50193400 Food baskets is a Class code that nominally covers prepared food assortments sold as bundled units. However, the available recent state and local procurement activity does not reflect food-basket solicitations. The single substantive opportunity in the recent record—San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management's ITB 6391 for Parts & Supplies (posted May 18, 2026, due June 19, 2026)—procures facility maintenance and repair consumables including HVAC components, electrical supplies, plumbing materials, chemicals, paint, tools, and personal protective equipment. This scope bears no relation to the code's stated focus on food baskets. The county procurement was open to all responsive and responsible bidders, with a local vendor preference of 5 percent for vendors whose principal place of business falls within San Bernardino County boundaries and no disadvantaged enterprise set-asides mentioned.

Geographic activity under this code is minimal and geographically scattered. The only substantive recent opportunity appears in California (San Bernardino County). A second posting from Williamson County Purchasing in Texas (July 14, 2026) is a notice of office relocation and carries no procurement scope or contracting opportunity. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal scope (food baskets) and the actual solicitation posted (facility supplies and parts) suggests either erroneous code assignment in the state or local system or a lack of recent food-basket purchasing under this classification.
