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, a Commodity code, encompasses grass seed and wheat seed products procured by state and local jurisdictions for grounds maintenance and agricultural programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a narrow focus on specific seed varieties rather than bulk hard wheat grain — the City of Lubbock issued two quotes in July 2026 for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS for grounds applications. School districts and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies visible in recent activity, with school nutrition programs also sourcing wheat and wheat-based products as components of larger food-supply contracts. The code's nominal scope (hard wheat as a commodity) diverges from the recent opportunities posted under it, which center on specialized seed stock rather than milling-grade or food-service wheat.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia and Texas based on recent postings. The City of Lubbock (Texas) released two RFQ notices for grass seed due July 16, 2026. The Butts County School System (Georgia) issued an IFB for School Nutrition Program food products — including wheat-based items within a larger 72-line food procurement — with a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and bid submission deadline of May 26, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas, with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending and a sealed-proposal deadline of March 4, 2026. School districts represent the more active issuing body segment, driven by seasonal nutrition program procurement cycles, while municipal grounds-maintenance requirements appear sporadic.
