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 nominally names a single grain product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with sorghum procurement. The most recent opportunities in the data set address broad food service supply chains for institutional buyers — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies — that source diverse food categories including proteins, dairy, grains, produce, and prepared items. These solicitations use the code to classify general food commodity procurement rather than sorghum-specific purchases. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with solicitations spanning Texas and Georgia reflecting the concentration of recent activity in those states.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations, encompassing approximately 382 line items with firm, fixed pricing on FOB Destination delivery. The Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia solicited IFB Food SY26-27 (due April 29, 2026) for over 400 food items across 13 school delivery points, with prices to remain firm for the entire contract period. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. The code shows minimal evidence of sorghum-specific procurement activity and appears misapplied to general food service supply; state and local buyers under this classification are sourcing mainstream commodity proteins, grains, and produce rather than specialty flour products.
