UNSPSC 50424905: Dried southern mustard

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

UNSPSC 50424905 Dried southern mustard is a Commodity code. State and local procurement records show little relevant recent activity under this code; the most recent opportunities posted are for dried kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and general cafeteria food products—none of which match the dried mustard commodity scope. When state and local governments do procure under this code, they are buying bulk dried mustard for institutional food service, typically in quantities suitable for correctional facilities, school districts, child care programs, and state agency kitchens. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, school districts, and city municipal agencies. Procurement follows standard institutional food-service patterns: sealed bids with detailed USDA or equivalent grading specifications, all-inclusive pricing with delivery included, and compliance with food-safety and FDA standards.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities across dried-bean categories (where the code shows closest alignment) includes Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, under IFB with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation (5% for goods fabricated in Oregon plus 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), and the State of Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing. A City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program RFP posted August 11, 2026, solicited food products including proteins, breads, fruits, and vegetables for approximately 400 children daily. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2). The code itself shows no posted opportunities for dried mustard specifically; vendors pursuing institutional dried-spice procurement should monitor state corrections departments and school-district food-service solicitations in Oregon, Georgia, and Texas as indicators of buying patterns.
