UNSPSC 85151704: National food intervention policy or programs

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a national food intervention policy or program service

UNSPSC 85151704 National food intervention policy or programs is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of specialized food services, nutrition programs, and food-access initiatives driven by federal or state policy mandates. State and local governments use this code to solicit management contracts for WIC nutrition programs, school food services, senior meal delivery, correctional facility food service, and emerging food-access projects such as mobile markets and farm-to-school programs. The issuing bodies span state health and agriculture departments, county and municipal governments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities managing corrections, veteran services, and senior programs. Work currently being solicited includes infant formula rebate contracts tied to federal WIC eligibility and reimbursement structures; comprehensive food service management for schools, jails, psychiatric hospitals, and senior centers; meal preparation and delivery coordinated with USDA commodity programs and nutritional standards; and policy-development consulting such as farm-to-school strategic planning.

Recent activity shows strong geographic clustering in Texas, Michigan, Georgia, and Florida, with additional solicitations in Oregon, Nevada, Missouri, and Connecticut. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited WIC infant formula rebate contracts (IFB HHS0016707, due January 11, 2027) across Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation, anticipating up to two awards structured by formula type with passthrough rebate pricing and a five-year contract term. Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Veterans and Military Affairs posted multiple RFPs for nutritional services at state psychiatric hospitals and veteran homes (RFP 260000002176, due September 9, 2026), each specifying comprehensive meal operations, service-level agreements with financial penalties, and mandatory pre-proposal facility tours. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut are actively contracting with food service management companies under fixed per-meal pricing models with USDA compliance requirements; Parkway School District in Missouri (RFP 2685, due June 26, 2026) and D.A.T.E. Academy Charter School in Georgia (RFP PE55259NONST2026000000001, due June 18, 2026) exemplify this pattern. Senior meal and congregate nutrition programs in Florida (Pasco County RFP-LK-26-045 and Hillsborough County ITB-26-00289, totaling $17.8 million over three years) and Georgia (Effingham County, Forsyth County concessions) are competitive, with requirements for three-year vendor track records, comprehensive liability insurance, and E-Verify compliance. Policy-development work is emerging: Texas Department of Agriculture (RFP 5510000628, due September 8, 2026) sought a farm-to-school strategic plan under VetHUB subcontracting requirements, and the City of Cincinnati issued a non-binding RFI on mobile market food access (due October 23, 2026). Concession management at parks, schools, and performing arts venues (Forsyth County, Richardson, Collier County) represents ancillary but recurring activity tied to the code. Response dates cluster in May through September 2026, with contract terms typically running two to five years and often featuring renewal options; insurance thresholds, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, and USDA regulatory alignment are standard mandates.
