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, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span wheat seed procurement (grass seed and beardless wheat seed varieties) and a school nutrition program food bid, but only the City of Lubbock's seed solicitations directly reflect durum wheat or wheat-family acquisitions. State and local issuing bodies using the code include municipalities (City of Lubbock) and school districts (Butts County School System). The Lubbock opportunities involve quote-based procurement for specific seed varieties, while the Butts County School System's procurement targets broader food supplies for school nutrition programs delivered across six school locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The City of Lubbock posted two separate RFQs on July 2, 2026 for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS, both due July 16, 2026. Butts County School System issued an IFB on April 27, 2026 for School Nutrition Program food products with bid submission due May 26, 2026 at 9:30 a.m., contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms. The school district procurement requires compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP standards, and debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the code shows no volume concentration among repeat buyers across the source period.
