UNSPSC 50171830: Dipping sauces or condiments or spreads or marinades

UNSPSC 50171830 Dipping sauces or condiments or spreads or marinades is a Commodity code that captures a narrow slice of state and local food procurement — packaged condiment items embedded within larger institutional grocery buys. Recent opportunities show the code tagged to school nutrition, state hospital, and correctional facility food service contracts, where condiments and seasonings appear as line items within comprehensive multi-category food solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County and Burke County in Georgia, Elk Grove and Conejo Valley in California, Ben Hill in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and state corrections departments (Illinois IDOC and Oregon DOC). These organizations source dipping sauces, marinades, condiments, and spreads as components of weekly or annual grocery contracts, typically bundled with proteins, produce, dairy, and staple items under consolidated food service RFPs or IFBs.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC contracts spanning statewide), Georgia (school districts including Douglas County, Liberty County, and Burke County), Illinois (IDOC emergency commissary procurements), California (EGUSD and Conejo Valley), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI and other districts). Oregon Department of Corrections has issued single-item ITBs for specific condiments like mustard and mayonnaise lite, showing appetite for line-item specification. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026), which calls for 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, condiments, and beverages under firm fixed pricing with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items bid (April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with condiments and sauces specified by brand; and the Oregon DOC ITB for Mayonnaise Lite (response due July 16, 2026, approximately 2,640 cases at FOB Destination pricing with 5–10 percent Oregon-preference). The code shows consistent low-dollar volume per item, embedded within institutional food service demand that remains steady across school years and fiscal cycles.
