UNSPSC 50171800: Sauces and spreads and condiments

UNSPSC 50171800 Sauces and spreads and condiments, a Class code, encompasses prepared condiments and flavor-base ingredients that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations in correctional facilities, schools, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific condiment items—mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup—as line items within larger food service contracts, alongside broader grocery and food product procurements. The code sees activity from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Corrections, and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, California, and Connecticut. Issuing bodies span state agencies (health, corrections, education departments), county and municipal school districts, and independent school nutrition programs serving institutional populations ranging from incarcerated individuals to K-12 students.

Recent opportunities show condiment procurement typically embedded in larger food service contracts rather than as standalone buys. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026, for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital—a blanket contract covering approximately 110 line items including condiments, with response due July 27, 2026; historical spend was $32,226.36 annually. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017340 on June 30, 2026, for 2,640 cases of Mayonnaise Lite (response due July 16, 2026), and ITB S2910000015840 on January 26, 2026, for prepared mustard in quantity (response due February 2, 2026), both with Oregon-vendor preferences up to 10 percent combined. Illinois Department of Corrections commissary procurements—executed under emergency authority—have included condiment and sauce items as part of statewide commissary supply contracts awarded to vendors including Vistar, Keefe, Union Supply, and E-Ford between February 2024 and August 2026. School nutrition programs in Bridgeport, Connecticut; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Rockwood, Missouri; and Elk Grove, California have issued bids incorporating condiments, seasonings, and sauces within broader grocery line-item lists of 100 to 400+ items. Illinois and Oregon are the primary recent-activity states, with concentrated commissary procurement cycles in corrections; school nutrition activity is dispersed across multiple states.
