UNSPSC 50221107: Sorghum grain

Cereal grain culivated in warmer climates.

UNSPSC 50221107 Sorghum grain is a Commodity code that encompasses agricultural grain products used in food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments procure sorghum and related grain commodities primarily through school district food-service solicitations to support child nutrition programs. The Butts County School System's recent School Nutrition Program Food Bid illustrates the actual buying pattern: the district solicited sealed bids for food supplies—including grain products and commodity ingredients—to support meals served across six school locations during a full contract year. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, supplemented by county and municipal food-service operations that operate cafeterias and meal programs. Food contracts typically run for twelve-month periods with renewal options, and districts often bundle commodity purchases (grains, proteins, produce, and prepared items) into single competitive solicitations rather than purchasing sorghum grain as an isolated line item.

The Butts County School System's IFB, posted in April 2026 with bids due May 26, 2026, represents recent activity in Georgia. The solicitation required compliance with federal Buy American provisions and HACCP standards, firm pricing for 30 days post-award with limited adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports, and freight-on-board delivery to multiple school sites. Payment occurs within 30 days of delivery and acceptance. The contract runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options for a three-month extension and up to four additional one-year renewals based on vendor performance. No incumbent vendors were identified, and the district reserved the right to award single or multiple vendors. The source supports activity in Georgia only; no other state or regional concentration is evident from the available recent opportunities.
