UNSPSC 85151702: Food aid global information or early warning systems services

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a food aid global information or early warning systems service

UNSPSC 85151702 Food aid global information or early warning systems services is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not actively buy under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect institutional food service operations—jail meals, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, school nutrition programs, food service management at psychiatric hospitals, concession operations at public facilities, and WIC infant formula rebate contracts. None of these activities align with the code's nominal scope of global food aid systems, early warning platforms, or information services for food security monitoring. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests that the code sees little or no relevant state and local contract volume.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for WIC infant formula rebates across Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation (IFB HHS0016707, due January 11, 2027); the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' nutritional services procurement for two state psychiatric hospitals (RFP 260000001065, proposals due May 28, 2026); and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years). Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and correctional agencies across multiple states—predominantly Texas, Michigan, Georgia, and Florida—seeking operational food service providers rather than system vendors or information-service providers. The code does not support actionable procurement signals for firms pursuing food aid systems, global logistics platforms, or early warning technology work.
