Finely ground, powdery foodstuffs made by grinding and sifting grain.

UNSPSC 50221300 Flour and milled products is a Class code covering grains, flour, milling byproducts, and related staple food items sourced by state institutional and operational buyers. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for flour, tortillas, pasta, rice, and specialty grain products to supply correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, departments of criminal justice, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple operational locations. Solicitations typically specify USDA grade requirements, packaging and portion specifications, and firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery to multiple warehouses or distribution points across geographic regions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in May 2026 (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including flour, tortillas, pasta, and rice to supply five geographic warehouse areas, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (response due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including grain-category items to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period.
