UNSPSC 50171552: Seasoning mix

UNSPSC 50171552 Seasoning mix is a Commodity code covering ingredient and prepared-food supplies that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—principally school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state correctional facilities. Recent solicitations frame this activity broadly as component purchases within larger food and consumables procurement portfolios rather than as standalone seasoning contracts. State and local agencies source these items as part of comprehensive grocery and food-service supply agreements covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, condiments, and supplies. The issuing bodies are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state government), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), and county-level health and human services agencies. School districts and state nutrition and correctional agencies dominate the recent activity; Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County School System appear multiple times in recent cycles, signaling ongoing, high-volume procurement cycles in those jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas (three state-level solicitations for HHSC and TDCJ food service, plus one IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide) and Georgia (two school district RFPs covering 30+ districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative), with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products—including seasoning components within broader food-service supply—to the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical guideline value of $1.5 million for the prior twelve months; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF (posted May 4, 2026, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across 382 line items and five TDCJ warehouse regions, with firm, fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery required; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) covering grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly delivery windows specified and a one-year contract term beginning July 1, 2026, renewable for four additional one-year periods. All require firm, fixed pricing inclusive of delivery and compliance with USDA standards and federal nutrition labeling; most allow cost adjustments only at renewal periods or under specified conditions tied to documented commodity-price increases.
