UNSPSC 50221110: Wheat grain

A cereal grain.

UNSPSC 50221110 Wheat grain (Commodity) covers seed procurement and agricultural feed ingredients for state and local operations, including school nutrition programs, municipal grounds maintenance, and specialized agricultural research. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both direct seed purchases—Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed varieties—and refined wheat products used in specific operational contexts, such as wheat millfeed for insect rearing programs. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include city procurement offices, school districts, and state agriculture departments. The City of Lubbock has posted multiple seed quotes, while the Butts County School System and Douglas County School System are sourcing food products for school nutrition programs that may include grain-based items. The California Department of Food and Agriculture procures wheat millfeed as a specialized agricultural input for Mediterranean Fruit Fly control operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with California representing specialized state-level agricultural demand. The City of Lubbock issued RFQ solicitations for Jose Wheat Grass Seed (QQ2519764SR) and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS (QQ2519763SR) on July 2, 2026, with quotes due July 16, 2026.
