UNSPSC 50221107: Sorghum grain

Cereal grain culivated in warmer climates.

UNSPSC 50221107 Sorghum grain is a Commodity code that in practice captures dried grain and cereal ingredients procured for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under the code shows minimal direct sorghum solicitation. School districts remain the primary issuing bodies, with purchasing concentrated on bulk food supplies for School Nutrition Programs serving multiple school locations across contract years. The Douglas County School System and Butts County School System, both in Georgia, represent the available recent activity, each managing multi-location food procurement through competitive sealed processes (RFP and IFB respectively) with firm pricing, USDA compliance requirements, and multi-year renewal options. Vendors must demonstrate food-service experience, maintain appropriate commercial insurance, and accept federal debarment certification and Buy American provisions as standard compliance conditions.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia, where Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026 (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, and Butts County School System issued IFB PE55683NONST2027000000020 on April 27, 2026 (due May 26, 2026) for School Nutrition Program food supplies across six school locations with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Both procurements emphasize cost-plus approaches tied to third-party market reporting (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Urner Barry) and award on a lowest-qualified-pricing basis with options for multiple vendors across product lines. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are identified in the recent solicitations, opening full competition to qualified respondents.
