UNSPSC 50171833: Savory spread or pate

UNSPSC 50171833 Savory spread or pate, a Commodity code, represents shelf-stable condiments and protein spreads that state and local government institutions—primarily correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and social service agencies—purchase in bulk for food service operations. The recent solicitations show that what is actually being bought under this code spans mayonnaise (including lite formulations), ketchup, cheese sauce, salad oil, and other prepared condiments and spreads used in institutional kitchens, ordered in cases measured by weight or unit count and delivered on palletized truckloads to centralized distribution centers or facility receiving areas. State corrections departments appear to be the most frequent buyers, particularly in Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, which have issued multiple competitive and emergency procurements for commissary and food service supplies; Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts, and county social service agencies also solicit regularly under related codes. The issuing bodies mix state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), independent and county school districts (Bridgeport, Burke County Georgia, Ben Hill County Georgia, Northside ISD Texas), county social service departments (Gwinnett County Georgia), state supported living centers (Texas), and state veterans homes (Illinois).

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut showing the highest volume of posted opportunities. Representative procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 ITB for approximately 3,420 cases of salad oil for delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, due August 21, 2026, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference and a prior award to Alpine Food at $28.92 per 35-pound case; the Georgia Department of Corrections' August 2026 eRFQ for salad oil to supply Georgia Correctional Industries, due September 4, 2026, with all-inclusive pricing and electronic PDF submission required; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, sauces, and soups for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia and F.O.B. Destination terms; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 IFB for groceries and food products for Big Spring State Hospital, due August 28, 2026, with approximately 100 line items and a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36. Illinois Department of Corrections has relied on emergency procurement for commissary supplies throughout 2026, with multiple final-cost reports for vendors including Vistar, E-Ford Commissary, Keefe Group, and Walmart reflecting ongoing institutional food service demand. Pricing varies widely by product and jurisdiction; Oregon ITBs typically range from $27–$32 per case for mayonnaise and salad oil with firm FOB Destination terms, while school district and county social service procurements often encompass 100–400 line items with mixed pricing structures and strong Buy American compliance requirements.
