UNSPSC 50221113: Durum wheat

Durum wheat, also called pasta wheat or macaroni wheat, is a tetraploid species of wheat. WFP food convention.

UNSPSC 50221113 Durum wheat is a Commodity code, but recent state and local activity under it does not center on durum wheat at all. The City of Lubbock has solicited quotes for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS, both posted July 2, 2026 with quotes due July 16, 2026. School districts including Butts County School System and Douglas County School System have issued food-service bids and RFPs that span fresh produce, eggs, and other food products for their nutrition programs, but these solicitations do not specify durum wheat or any specific wheat commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the few wheat seed procurement notices from Lubbock are municipal landscaping or grounds-maintenance quotes rather than food-service or agricultural commodity purchases.

The recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, with Butts County School System issuing an Invitation for Bid for School Year 2026–2027 food supplies (contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with written questions due May 8, 2026 and bids due May 26, 2026) and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas (estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with proposals due March 4, 2026). Lubbock, Texas generated two separate quote solicitations for wheat seed varieties. The issuing bodies span city municipal governments and independent school districts, but the wheat seed quotes from Lubbock and the food-service aggregated procurement from Georgia school systems serve materially different functions and do not represent a coherent market segment under this code's nominal commodity definition.
