UNSPSC 85151700: Food policy planning and aid

In this classification, this class is composed of those who provide the breadth and depth of services to be a food policy planning and aid service

UNSPSC 85151700 Food policy planning and aid is a Class code encompassing state and local procurement of WIC program management, infant formula rebate contracts, breastfeeding support services, and farm-to-school strategic planning. Recent solicitations show state health departments and nutrition authorities purchasing rebate administration, quality improvement data analysis, and policy development rather than direct food delivery. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, and Texas Department of Agriculture dominate recent activity, with scope spanning infant formula rebate pricing negotiation, peer counselor program QI services, and comprehensive statewide farm-to-school strategic planning with implementation roadmaps.

Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Delaware, and Georgia see the most recent activity under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016707 for WIC infant formula rebate contracts across Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma with bids due January 11, 2027, anticipating award of up to two contracts—one for milk-based and one for soy-based formula—with rebate pricing structured on manufacturer's lowest national wholesale cost and automatic cent-for-cent adjustments for wholesale fluctuations exceeding 10 cents. The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services seeks quality improvement and data-analysis services for breastfeeding peer counselor outcomes with proposals due September 29, 2026, building on incumbent Gibbous work while maintaining continuity across expanded access modalities. The Texas Department of Agriculture posted RFP 5510000628 for a comprehensive Texas Farm to School and Early Care Strategic Plan due September 8, 2026, with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting and DEI compliance requirements, spanning environmental scans, state comparisons, and implementation workplans through December 31, 2027, with renewal through 2029. Bidders on formula rebate contracts must demonstrate minimum two years of relevant experience and HUB compliance; formula rebate volume is not guaranteed, with historical invoice exhibits provided for reference pricing only.
