UNSPSC 57050102 Nutritional kit – outpatient, module registration is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure registered dietitian services for institutional menu planning, development, and nutritional review. The code encompasses qualifications-based selection of licensed nutrition professionals to assess and design menus that meet regulatory dietary standards, accommodate medical and therapeutic requirements, and support large-scale meal operations in correctional and other institutional settings. State procurement offices issue these solicitations as qualifications-based competitions under professional services frameworks, typically seeking vendors with expertise in institutional menu engineering, regulatory compliance documentation, litigation-grade record-keeping, and the ability to respond rapidly to requests from facility administrators.

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, procuring on behalf of the Department of Corrections, issued RFSQ AK27107 on September 25, 2026 for a five-year registered dietitian contract due October 12, 2026. The scope spans three facility types across the state — Utah State Correctional Facility (approximately 14,000 meals per day), Central Utah Correctional Facility (approximately 6,000 meals per day), and six Community Correctional Centers (approximately 1,500 meals per day) — with services including menu assessment and development, nutritional review to meet Recommended Dietary Allowances, and accommodation of medical, therapeutic, and religious diets. Mandatory qualifications require current active licensure from the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, a Bachelor's degree or higher in Dietetics, Human Nutrition, or a related field from an accredited institution, and successful completion of a criminal background check. The evaluation committee will score submissions on a 1000-point scale weighted toward Correctional Expertise & Institutional Menu Engineering (350 points), Capability to Execute the Scope of Work (400 points), Litigation Defense & Expert Witness Experience (200 points), and Professional References (50 points); offerors must provide at least three professional references from clients receiving similar large-scale menu review services within the past five years.
