UNSPSC 94131602: Food relief services

UNSPSC 94131602 Food relief services is a Commodity code encompassing nonprofit grants, food pantry operations, and emergency catering—the state and local opportunities currently posted under this code show a mix of direct service delivery, grant administration, and disaster-response meal provision. The City of Santa Monica is soliciting nonprofit organizations through its Human Services Grants Program for four-year grant agreements addressing community needs, including food relief as one eligible program area, with proposals due December 14, 2026; Los Alamos County is requesting quotations to operate a public food pantry providing emergency food assistance to residents under federal poverty guidelines, with quotes due October 21, 2026; and the City of St. Cloud and Collier County, Florida are separately procuring emergency catering services to feed employees and emergency work crews during disaster response scenarios (hurricanes, flooding, fires, utility failures). The issuing bodies range across city departments, county procurement offices, and special-purpose food-relief entities, reflecting a mix of ongoing relief operations, grant-funded programs, and event-triggered emergency response.

Activity concentrates in Florida and the Southwest, with recent solicitations from Los Alamos County, New Mexico; Collier County and the City of St. Cloud, Florida; and the City of Santa Monica, California. Los Alamos County's food pantry RFQ is a small-purchase quotation with an estimated award date of November 20, 2026 and a potential term of up to seven years; Collier County's emergency catering RFP (grant-funded through FEMA Public Assistance) targets an initial three-year term with potential one to two two-year renewals and references historical activation during Hurricanes Ian, Idalia, Helene, and Milton at approximately $800,000 total expenditure with meal volumes ranging from 1,200 to 2,615 meals per day. The St. Cloud emergency catering RFP caps compensation at $150,000 per contract year with an aggregate limit of $450,000 across renewals. Santa Monica's grants program, running July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2031, requires annual City Council approval and competitive proposals from qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits with human services administration experience; the City accepts either a 30% minimum cash match or a living wage structure at $25.00 per hour with no match required.
