UNSPSC 85151605: Food or nutrition development strategies

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a food or nutrition development strategy service

UNSPSC 85151605 Food or nutrition development strategies (Commodity) covers nutrition consulting, meal planning, dietician services, and training program development that state and local governments procure to design and deliver food and nutrition education initiatives across schools, health and human services facilities, and youth residential programs. Recent solicitations span school district nutrition education and health promotion training, on-site dietician positions at state-funded facilities, comprehensive meal recipe and menu development compliant with USDA standards, and nutritional services consulting for early childhood programs. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services departments (Texas HHS, Missouri Department of Social Services, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs), municipal early childhood development entities (San Antonio Pre-K 4 SA), and individual state-supported residential facilities. Work being solicited under the code ranges from professional development delivery—Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for School Health Program training coordination across nutrition education and physical activity, with responses due July 30, 2026—to specialized dietician placements such as the Texas HHS July 2026 solicitation for a licensed dietician at Lubbock State Supported Living Center (due July 22, 2026) and Kentucky's March 2026 on-call dietician RFP at a veterans center (due April 2, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the broader Midwest, with Texas issuing two HHS contracts in July 2026 alone; Missouri's Division of Youth Services requested bids in June 2026 for USDA-compliant twelve-week rotating meal recipes and menus for youth facilities; and San Antonio's Pre-K 4 SA issued an RFP in June 2026 for comprehensive nutritional services including meal preparation and delivery compliant with Child and Adult Care Food Program standards. Kentucky and other states round out the geographic spread. Contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, multiple years of relevant experience with documented references, current professional licensure or certifications (Kentucky and Texas both mandate current dietician's licenses), and compliance with state-specific set-asides where applicable—Texas contracts include mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plans with VetHUB utilization goals, and Kentucky permits consideration of service-disabled veteran business status. Contract terms are commonly multi-year with optional renewals, and issuing bodies routinely require insurance, background checks, and compliance with federal food program standards or state health and safety regulations.
