UNSPSC 85151600: Nutrition issues

In this classification, this class is composed of those who provide the breadth and depth of services to be a nutrition issue based service provider

UNSPSC 85151600 Nutrition issues, a Class code, encompasses consulting, professional staffing, and program-delivery services for institutional and community nutrition operations. State and local governments solicit this code primarily for registered dietitian services — menu planning and nutritional review at correctional facilities, veterans homes, long-term care centers, and community meal programs — and for nutrition-related training and food-service coordination across school districts and public health agencies. Recent opportunities show demand for direct clinical dietitian engagement (assessment, care planning, menu development, regulatory compliance documentation) as well as contracted consulting roles tied to institutional accreditation and litigation support. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and veterans affairs, county health systems and social services, city community-development and municipal-partnership agencies, and special-purpose districts. The Utah Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Walworth County (Wisconsin), and the City of San Antonio have each posted multiple solicitations under or adjacent to this code within the past four months.

Geographic activity clusters in the Mountain West, Midwest, and South. Utah posted a five-year registered dietitian contract (RFQ, due October 12, 2026) for institutional menu planning across three correctional facilities totaling approximately 21,500 meals daily, requiring Registered Dietitian licensure, a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics or related field, and expertise in litigation defense and institutional menu engineering scored on a 1,000-point scale. Illinois Veterans Affairs has posted three separate dietitian solicitations (small purchases, RFQs) for the Illinois Veterans Home Manteno facility between July and October 2026, each seeking 22 hours per month of in-person clinical dietitian services. Walworth County, Wisconsin issued an RFQ (due August 17, 2026) for 32 hours monthly of clinical dietitian services at a 90-bed long-term care facility, requiring Wisconsin licensure, three years of long-term care experience, and an all-inclusive hourly rate. The City of Peoria, Arizona (RFP, due May 29, 2026) sought a contractor to employ a registered dietician as part of a broader congregate and home-delivered meal program. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has tagged training-coordination and dietary-services positions within broader health-professional staffing and school-health training solicitations. Santa Clara County Health System posted a temporary health-professional staffing vehicle (due October 7, 2026) with Dietician Services among eligible categories. Most solicitations require current state licensure, liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence minimum), HIPAA compliance, background checks, and monthly or hourly cost proposals; no set-asides for small business, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned enterprises appear in the recent postings.
