UNSPSC 93131604: Food or agriculture organization services

UNSPSC 93131604 Food or agriculture organization services is a Commodity code encompassing institutional food service delivery—meal preparation, procurement, staffing, and operational management—for correctional facilities, senior centers, schools, military and law enforcement academies, and healthcare institutions. State and local governments procure turn-key food service contracts under this code when they lack in-house capacity or prefer outsourced management. Recent solicitations show school districts, county corrections departments, senior services agencies, and state institutional facilities as the primary issuing bodies. Representative opportunities include Montgomery County Jail's food service RFP due August 5, 2026 (covering inmate and staff meals with USDA compliance), Effingham County Georgia's combined prison-jail-senior center food service RFP due August 7, 2026, and the New Mexico Department of Public Safety's multi-year food management contract due March 6, 2026 (covering three daily meals and snacks for academy cadets and recruits). School districts and FSMCs (Food Service Management Companies) dominate the recent flow, with contracts for child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program appearing frequently.

Activity spans multiple regions with particular concentration in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, and New York. Georgia shows heavy recent activity across county jails, school districts, and state psychiatric facilities. Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services manages multiple USDA Foods distribution and storage contracts through Service Areas 1 and 2 (ITBs due June 10, 2026), while school districts and county corrections systems in Texas and Georgia issue RFPs regularly for meal service. Oregon's Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services, and New York's community college system all posted institutional food service solicitations with response windows between February and June 2026. Vendor requirements are consistent across jurisdictions: demonstrated experience in target-population food service (correctional, senior, or school nutrition), current health and food safety certifications, liability insurance in the $1–2 million range, background-checked staff, and fixed or per-meal pricing structures. Set-asides and preferences vary by state; Georgia emphasizes MWBE and small-business participation, Florida and Texas apply local-vendor or resident-preference provisions where applicable, and several contracts require compliance with prevailing-wage or living-wage mandates. Contract values rarely appear in public notices but implied annual spend ranges from $150,000 for small school sites to $17.8 million for large county senior-meal programs.
