UNSPSC 50172004 Soy based mixed paste is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement of specialty food ingredients and prepared food components for institutional food service. The recent opportunities under this code span school nutrition programs, state hospital cafeterias, and public food service operations sourcing groceries, prepared foods, and food service supplies on firm fixed-price contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (both individual districts and cooperative purchasing groups), state health and human services agencies, and municipal governments. The Douglas County School System in Georgia appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple food service RFPs through the GEC Buying Cooperative that reach 30 participating school districts across the state.

The code sees active procurement in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries and food service supplies at Big Spring State Hospital with a response deadline of July 27, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases RFQ BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (response deadline June 30, 2026, now closed); the State of Georgia's IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools and an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (proposal deadline February 18, 2026, now closed). Institutional food service contracts under this code typically run one year with options to extend, require firm pricing with no fuel surcharges, mandate USDA compliance and Buy American provisions where applicable, and specify delivery to central warehouses and satellite school or facility locations on a firm schedule.
