UNSPSC 50221301: Vegetable flour

UNSPSC 50221301 Vegetable flour is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure flour and grain-based food products for institutional food service operations, including cafeteria supply, state facility dining, and kitchen operations. Recent activity shows demand for vegetable flour and related grain items as components of broader food and consumable products contracts serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and other residential or congregate-care institutions. The work is not standalone ingredient procurement but rather part of multi-line-item food service supply agreements where vegetable flour competes alongside wheat flour, specialty grains, pasta, rice, and other starches within consolidated purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, corrections agencies, and comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of operational facilities, rather than city, county, or school district buyers in the recent record.

Texas dominates the recent activity, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) issuing IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products with a response deadline of May 4, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a due date of July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Georgia also appears in the record with PE55645NONST2026000000009, a food and supplies solicitation posted May 15, 2026 with a response due June 22, 2026. The TDCJ IFB specifies approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and vegetables with detailed USDA grade requirements and FOB Destination delivery to six Texas distribution points. Award criteria focus on specification compliance, price competitiveness, vendor performance history, and delivery capability, with contracts typically running one year plus renewal options. No specific set-asides or vendor class restrictions appear in the available solicitations.
