UNSPSC 57050101: Nutritional kit - outpatient, module-equipment

Nutrition kit for a mobile outpatient feeding facility. Contains preparation equipment, manuals and cleaning equipment for preparation of foods given to children suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

UNSPSC 57050101 Nutritional kit — outpatient, module-equipment is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities actually being solicited under it. The single recent opportunity on file is a Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) for a Registered Dietitian to provide institutional menu planning and review services for a correctional system — a professional services engagement focused on nutrition consulting, menu development, and compliance documentation rather than the procurement or supply of outpatient nutritional kits or equipment modules. The scope of work solicited does not match the code's nominal product classification, and the code shows no recent activity for outpatient nutrition equipment or kits.

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Department of Corrections, posted a five-year menu planning and review contract (Solicitation AK27107) with a response date of October 12, 2026. The engagement spans three correctional facilities and six community centers, serving approximately 21,500 meals per day combined, and requires the contractor to deliver menu assessment, nutritional compliance review, accommodation of medical and religious diets, and litigation-grade documentation supporting expert witness testimony. Mandatory qualifications include current active licensure as a Registered Dietitian, a Bachelor's degree or higher in Dietetics or Human Nutrition, and successful completion of a criminal background check. Evaluation weighs Correctional Expertise and Institutional Menu Engineering (350 points), Litigation Defense and Expert Witness Experience (200 points), Capability to Execute the Scope of Work (400 points), and Professional References (50 points). All pricing must be guaranteed for two years. This code warrants close monitoring only if your firm has established a compliance and consulting practice within institutional food service; the code's current tagging appears misaligned with its taxonomy definition.
