UNSPSC 50221115: Hard wheat

A wheat with hard kernels that are high in gluten and that yield a flour especially suitable for bread and macaroni. WFP food convention.

UNSPSC 50221115 Hard wheat is a Commodity code that captures grass seed and wheat seed products for grounds maintenance and agricultural operations at state and local government facilities. The code shows minimal recent procurement activity and appears to span both turf-grass seed varieties used for landscaping and food-grade wheat seed products. State and local governments soliciting under this code include municipalities and school districts. The City of Lubbock has posted requests for specific seed varieties, while the Butts County School System has tagged a School Nutrition Program food procurement with this code, suggesting the source data may conflate grass seed with food-grade wheat or seed-based food ingredients.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The City of Lubbock issued two RFQs in July 2026 for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS, both with a due date of July 16, 2026 (Solicitation QQ2519764SR and QQ2519763SR). The Butts County School System in Georgia issued an IFB in April 2026 for School Nutrition Program food supplies covering School Year 2026–2027, with bids due May 26, 2026 at its central office in Jackson, Georgia, and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options up to four additional one-year terms. The school district's procurement requires compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP standards, with pricing subject to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service and Consumer Price Index adjustments. The limited volume of recent opportunities and the apparent mismatch between the code's nominal scope (hard wheat) and the grass-seed and school-food products actually being solicited suggest this code sees infrequent state and local activity.
