UNSPSC 50424900: Dried mustards

The type of vegetable known as mustards that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424900 Dried mustards is a Class code that in practice covers procurement of dried legumes and bulk institutional food supplies for state agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties), typically triple-cleaned to USDA standards and specified for institutional cooking and meal preparation. The issuing bodies span state correctional systems (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal or local education entities (City of Edinburg, Texas serving a Child and Adult Care Food Program). The scope extends beyond dried mustards narrowly construed to encompass the broader category of dried legume staples used in high-volume food service operations.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted solicitations for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) and dried black beans triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 grade or better (due August 21, 2026), both for institutional food service with Oregon-vendor and Oregon-fabrication evaluation preferences. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements.
