UNSPSC 85151607: Diet control or programs

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a diet control or program service

UNSPSC 85151607 Diet control or programs is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure licensed clinical dietitian services delivered directly at long-term care facilities, residential care centers, and state institutions. The work involves comprehensive nutrition program management including resident nutritional assessments, dietary care plan development and revision, menu review and approval, kitchen inspections, medical record and laboratory review, malnutrition risk identification, therapeutic meal plan development, interdisciplinary care team collaboration, regulatory compliance documentation, and quarterly or annual staff education. State veterans affairs departments, counties operating long-term care facilities, and state health and human services commissions are the primary issuing bodies. Recent solicitations show no subcontracting permitted; vendors must be independently licensed dietitians in the relevant state, hold specified insurance coverage (typically $1 million general liability and workers' compensation), and maintain HIPAA compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Texas, with additional solicitations in Wisconsin and California. The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs has posted multiple dietitian service opportunities for the Illinois Veterans Home Manteno facility—most recently in September and October 2026 (due dates October 7 and September 8, 2026) and earlier in July and August 2026—all requiring 22 hours monthly service availability and Illinois licensure. Walworth County, Wisconsin solicited clinical dietitian services for Lakeland Health Care Center (RFP due August 17, 2026), requiring Wisconsin certification and 32 hours monthly at an all-inclusive hourly rate with 3% annual cap on increases. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission identified Dietician Services as a subcontracting opportunity within a broader School Health Program training services solicitation (IFB HHS0017575, due July 30, 2026) and separately posted a dietician position opening at Lubbock State Supported Living Center (due July 22, 2026) requiring a current Texas Dietician's License and hourly rate proposals. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) explicitly listing ancillary health professional categories excluding this code. San Antonio Pre-K 4 SA issued an RFP for nutritional services (due June 11, 2026) spanning dietician services, food program services, and food preparation, with CACFP compliance required.
