UNSPSC 50171902: Relish

UNSPSC 50171902 Relish is a Commodity code that covers pickled vegetables and condiment products purchased by state and local governments to supply cafeteria operations, institutional food service, and child nutrition programs. State and local agencies are soliciting relish and related pickled items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and other institutional dining operations. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Georgia school boards including Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Administrative Services), special-purpose districts (Invest Atlanta food distribution), cities (City of Edinburg, Texas; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These buyers typically procure relish as part of comprehensive food-service solicitations spanning multiple commodity lines rather than as standalone item buys.
