UNSPSC 50221105: Rye grain

A cereal grain

UNSPSC 50221105 Rye grain is a Commodity code covering grain products procured for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under this code shows limited volume. The Butts County School System in Georgia issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) in April 2026 for food products to support its School Nutrition Program during School Year 2026–2027, with bid submission due May 26, 2026. School districts represent the primary issuing body for rye and similar grain commodities at the state and local level, as they source food supplies for student meal programs. Food products procured under this code are delivered directly to school locations and must meet federal compliance standards, including Buy American provisions under 7 CFR 210.21(d) and HACCP requirements. Bidders are expected to absorb all packing and transportation costs on a freight-on-board basis with no separate fuel surcharges, and pricing remains firm for 30 days post-award and fixed thereafter, with limited exceptions for documented market-rate adjustments based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data submitted 30 days in advance.

The Butts County School System procurement represents recent activity in Georgia, with six school locations served under a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options available for up to four additional one-year terms. The absence of set-aside designations or incumbent vendor identification in the Butts County IFB suggests open competition. No other recent state or local rye grain solicitations appear in the current opportunity set, indicating this code sees sporadic rather than sustained procurement volume at the state and local level. Activity concentrates among school districts sourcing institutional meal programs; broader state-level agricultural or commodity procurement under this code does not surface in recent notices.
