UNSPSC 50424904: Dried red in snow mustard

The variety of mustard known as red in snow mustard that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424904 Dried red in snow mustard, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments are soliciting dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service programs, correctional facilities, and child care meal programs, not the specific mustard varietal the code names. Georgia Correctional Industries is procuring kidney beans in bulk increments of 880 bags via an RFQ with responses due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections is requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, is seeking food and nonfood items including proteins and dried goods to support a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily. The issuing bodies span state correctional agencies, state procurement offices, and municipal governments; the work involves bulk sourcing of commodity food products for meal preparation compliance with USDA, FDA, and HACCP standards.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South, with Oregon and Georgia driving the most recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid (June 19, 2026) includes a 10 percent evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed and vendors headquartered in Oregon, with FOB destination delivery to Salem and pricing that historically ran $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. The Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (posted May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) covers 382 line items across five geographic Texas distribution areas with firm fixed pricing including freight and fuel surcharges. The code itself appears misapplied to these opportunities; actual state and local procurement under this code designation does not reflect a sustained market for the mustard product named.
