The recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly solicit comprehensive grocery, produce, and food-service supply contracts—spanning proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, fresh fruits, condiments, and consumables—rather than specialty frozen raspberries alone. State and local buyers using this code are school nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, county corrections facilities, and child-care organizations. The issuing bodies include state health commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Education), county and municipal school districts (Fulton County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Rockwood, Henry County), a county corrections department (Santa Clara County), a state corrections agency (Oregon DOC), and federally funded child-care nonprofits (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and state-supported living centers—appear as repeat buyers under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary procurement in Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Recent representative solicitations include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (electronic bids due June 30, 2026, closed), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB for frozen foods, produce, and meat products totaling $969,460.94 estimated value (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, closed), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, closed). The code shows heavy recent activity across school districts, state facilities, and child nutrition programs, driven by fiscal-year 2026–27 purchasing cycles and federally mandated nutrition compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and USDA Smart Snack or Child and Adult Care Food Program standards.
