UNSPSC 73131804: Butter or cream processing services

UNSPSC 73131804 Butter or cream processing services, a Commodity code, encompasses food service operations and meal delivery programs that state and local governments procure for institutional, emergency, and community settings. While the code's title suggests dairy production, recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a broader scope: comprehensive food service management for schools, detention facilities, nursing homes, colleges, parks, and social service programs, including meal preparation, delivery, catering, and related dietary operations. Issuing bodies span school districts (DuBois Integrity Academy in Georgia; Savannah Classical Academy in Georgia; Gateway Early College High School and Phoenix College Preparatory Academy in Arizona; Parkway School District in Missouri; Klein ISD in Texas), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas; Kenosha County in Wisconsin; Whitfield County Sheriff's Office in Georgia; Williamson County in Texas; Collier County in Florida; Beaufort County in South Carolina), cities (New London in Connecticut; Tampa in Florida; Cocoa in Florida), transit authorities (MARTA in Georgia), state agencies (New Mexico Department of Public Safety), municipalities and special districts (Invest Atlanta in Georgia; Dalton State College in Georgia), and regional education service centers (Region One ESC in Texas). School food service management and school nutrition programs represent the largest concentration of recent activity, followed by detention and correctional facility food services, then specialized institutional dining (nursing care, college campus, and municipal facility operations).

The geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Arizona, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Colorado, Missouri, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Oregon, and New Mexico. Representative recent solicitations include the City of New London's RFP for Boardwalk Galley and Creamery and wedding and event catering services at Ocean Beach Park (ITN/RFP, due May 7, 2026), Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (RFP, due August 6, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFP for food services across four facilities (RFP, due April 27, 2026), Williamson County, Texas's RFP for jail food services (RFP, due April 15, 2026), Tampa Convention Center's re-bid for food and beverage services (RFP, due July 27, 2026), Beaufort County Sheriff's Department's RFP for detention center food services (RFP, due June 22, 2026), and DuBois Integrity Academy's RFP for food service management for 1,200+ K-8 students (RFP, due June 15, 2026). Activity remains steady across the year with notices posted from January through July 2026, reflecting recurring procurement cycles for multi-year contracts in education, public safety, and social services.
