UNSPSC 50171700: Vinegars and cooking wines

UNSPSC 50171700 Vinegars and cooking wines, a Class code, appears in state and local procurement primarily as part of broader food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity category. State and local governments buy vinegars, cooking wines, and related condiments as line items within larger food-service contracts for correctional facilities, schools, and other institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies include state procurement offices acting on behalf of department-level customers—most recently the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, and the State of Georgia procurement office for institutional food supply.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB (Invitation for Bid) on behalf of TDCJ in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and staple items; the response due date was May 4, 2026, with award terms through August 31, 2027, and optional renewals. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products RFQ on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 due date. Both solicitations embed vinegars and cooking wines within larger institutional food baskets rather than isolating them as distinct procurement lines, suggesting that vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid as part of multi-category food-service contracts with detailed specification and compliance requirements, including USDA grade certifications, nutritional documentation, and firm fixed-price delivery terms.
