UNSPSC 50434905: Dried organic southern mustard

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

UNSPSC 50434905 Dried organic southern mustard is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried beans and legumes for institutional food service — a category substantially broader than the code's nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code procure dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, red beans) in bulk for correctional facilities, child care meal programs, educational institutions, and other state agencies. The work involves sourcing USDA-graded, triple-cleaned dried legumes with specified moisture content and foreign-material thresholds, compliance with food-safety standards including FDA and HACCP requirements, palletized delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites, and pricing on an all-inclusive basis incorporating transportation and fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state education and social-services agencies, municipal governments operating child care food programs, and specialized state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple customer agencies.
