In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a food preservation management or control service

UNSPSC 85151503 Food preservation management or control services is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of infant formula rebates, institutional food service operations, senior meal programs, correctional facility nutrition services, and school food management—spanning the full range from specialized rebate contracting through comprehensive nutritional operations at multiple facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying infant formula rebate administration, food service management at psychiatric hospitals and veteran homes, school nutrition program operations including breakfast and lunch service, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, jail and prison food services, and specialized food distribution such as USDA commodity logistics. State health and human services departments, departments of agriculture, school districts, county sheriffs' offices, and state corrections and veteran-affairs agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with repeat activity from Michigan (multiple psychiatric facility contracts), Florida (USDA food distribution and senior meals), and Texas (WIC infant formula rebates and school nutrition planning).

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's WIC Infant Formula Rebate procurement (IFB HHS0016707, proposals due January 11, 2027) seeking up to two contracts for milk-based and soy-based formula rebates across Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma with historical monthly volumes exceeding 200,000 infant participants; the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' Food Nutritional Services for Center for Forensic Psychiatry and Southeast Michigan Psychiatric Hospital (RFP 260000001065, proposals due May 28, 2026) covering meal planning, production, and staffing at two facilities serving approximately 340 daily patients; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services (ITB 26-00289, bids due June 25, 2026) valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years for congregate and home-delivered meals across 25 dining and care locations; and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' multiple USDA Foods Distribution contracts for the National School Lunch Program across three service areas (ITBs 15980, 15981, 16003, bids due June 10, 2026) for receipt, handling, storage, and delivery of commodity foods to recipient agencies. Geographic concentration reflects strong recent activity in Florida, Texas, Michigan, and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Nevada, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut. The code remains actively pursued by institutional and senior nutrition operators, food service management companies, and specialized rebate and logistics vendors meeting state and local regulatory and nutritional standards.
