UNSPSC 85151509: Food legislation services

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a food legislation service

UNSPSC 85151509 Food legislation services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure food service operations, meal preparation, nutrition program management, and related services—spanning school districts, senior centers, correctional facilities, psychiatric hospitals, parks and recreation departments, and other institutional settings. Recent solicitations show that the code captures two distinct work streams: institutional food service contracts (meal preparation and delivery for captive populations such as inmates, patients, and students) and food-program advisory or strategic services (such as farm-to-school planning and fresh pizza program development). The issuing-body mix is broad and geographically dispersed, with state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts all active. Repeat buyers include Michigan (Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Veteran and Military Affairs) and several Florida counties (Hillsborough, Pasco, Collier), as well as Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Agriculture, Juvenile Justice Department).

Geographic spread includes Texas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, and Connecticut, with particular density in Texas (WIC formula rebates, farm-to-school strategy, juvenile facility software), Florida (senior meals, park concessions, school nutrition), and Michigan (veteran home nutrition, psychiatric hospital food service). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016707 (WIC Infant Formula Rebate, bids due January 11, 2027), the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-00289 (Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services, $17.8 million estimated value, bids due June 25, 2026), the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services RFP 260000001065 (Nutritional Services at Center for Forensic Psychiatry and Southeast Michigan Psychiatric Hospital, proposals due May 28, 2026), and Sourcewell RFP 26RFP120326 (Food Products and Distribution for School Food Authorities cooperative purchasing vehicle, proposals due December 3, 2026). Concession services at public facilities (parks, performing arts venues, athletic centers) are also active under this code, as evidenced by Collier County's ITN 258360 (North Collier Regional Park food services, proposals due March 6, 2025) and the City of Richardson RFP 70726 (Charles W. Eisemann Center concessionaire services, proposals due September 24, 2026).
