UNSPSC 85151508 Food analysis services, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. Recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure comprehensive food service operations—meal preparation, staffing, equipment, procurement, and service delivery at correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, athletic venues, and public safety academies—rather than laboratory or analytical testing of food products.

Issuing bodies span county sheriffs' offices and correctional departments (Marion County Sheriff's Office in Oregon, Whitfield County Sheriff's Office in Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas), state departments and agencies (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, New Mexico Department of Public Safety, Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training), school districts and charter schools (Sauvie Island School in Oregon, D.A.T.E. Academy in Georgia, Gateway Early College High School and Phoenix College Preparatory Academy in Arizona, Marion County School Board in Florida, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Parkway School District in Missouri), community colleges and universities (SUNY Rockland, Dalton State College, University System of Georgia), and specialized public entities (Invest Atlanta for municipal grocery markets and food distribution in underserved communities, Pasco County Board of County Commissioners in Florida for senior congregate and home-delivered meals, Williamson County and Rockland County governments for food truck services and campus dining, Nevada State Purchasing Division on behalf of Battle Born Youth Challenge Academy). Hillsborough County and Pasco County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, and Michigan and Georgia state agencies appear as repeat solicitors with sizable meal-delivery contracts.
