UNSPSC 50424905: Dried southern mustard

The variety of mustard known as southern mustard that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424905 Dried southern mustard (Commodity) captures a narrow food product line; however, recent state and local procurement activity shows the code is being applied to much broader fresh and shelf-stable food supply categories. The available opportunities show school districts, state correctional departments, and municipal child nutrition programs soliciting grocery staples, produce, proteins, and eggs under food-service RFPs and IFBs rather than mustard or mustard-related items specifically. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Georgia and Illinois state procurement), large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The code appears to serve as a catch-all for packaged and dry-goods food items within broader meal-service supply chains, with school nutrition contracts dominating the recent posting volume.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with secondary posting activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts / Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (response deadline May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions; the Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition services IFB (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00016233 (due March 20, 2026) for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending near $5.5 million combined. School nutrition, institutional meal service, and correctional food supply represent the primary buying drivers under this code. Most contracts run on annual terms with firm fixed pricing, though some allow midterm adjustments for commodity price increases above 5 percent. Delivery is typically twice weekly to five times per week depending on product shelf life and program volume.
