UNSPSC 50193103: Gravy mix

UNSPSC 50193103 Gravy mix, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable condiments and food-preparation ingredients that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food-service operations—correctional facilities, schools, hospitals, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations under this code show that gravy mix itself appears rarely; instead, the code sits within broader food-staples procurement activity that encompasses sauces, condiments, seasonings, and prepared food items purchased as part of large line-item food contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county purchasing departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, Burke County Public Schools), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Corrections), state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Correctional facilities represent a standout repeat buyer across Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, where institutional food procurement for incarcerated populations drives regular solicitation activity for condiments, sauces, and other shelf-stable food components.

The geographic spread reflects activity across the South and West: Texas, Georgia, and Oregon show the highest recent volume, with secondary activity in Illinois, Connecticut, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces and condiments, delivered to Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; Northside Independent School District's November 2026 RFP for miscellaneous items for child nutrition; Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 ITB for salad oil and August 2026 ITB for mayonnaise lite (condiments closely aligned with gravy-mix procurement); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 IFB for approximately 100 line items of food and supplies for Big Spring State Hospital, including condiments and prepared foods, with bids due August 28, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools' June 2026 IFB for school nutrition food products covering seasonings and condiments alongside proteins and produce. Pricing in these solicitations reflects wholesale bulk purchasing at unit costs ranging from roughly $20–$35 per case depending on product type and quantity.
