UNSPSC 50221307: Sorghum flour

A type of flour milled from sorghum grain (low in gluten). Nutritionally, sorghum flour is similar to corn flour, but it has a higher concentration of protein.

UNSPSC 50221307 Sorghum flour is a Commodity code that captures specialty grain products purchased by state and local public bodies for institutional food service and facility supply. Recent solicitations filed under or near this code show state agencies buying bulk food staples—grains, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees—for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and other institutional operations. The scope encompasses firm-price commodity procurement with detailed USDA grade specifications, packaging requirements, nutritional data submission, and delivery obligations to multiple distribution points. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state comptroller offices acting on behalf of correctional or institutional agencies, and state procurement divisions coordinating multi-location supply chains. These are large institutional buyers with standing food service operations and recurring annual demand.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T26300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products across five geographic regions with a response deadline of May 4, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a due date of July 13, 2026, against a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Georgia's state procurement division also posted solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response deadline. All three solicitations employ firm fixed-price structures with volume-based recurring terms, renewal options, and best-value evaluation criteria that weight specification compliance, vendor performance history, and delivery capability alongside price.
