UNSPSC 50464902: Canned or jarred garlic mustard

The variety of mustard known as garlic mustard that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464902 Canned or jarred garlic mustard is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure packaged condiments and specialty food items for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is limited. The opportunities that do reference canned or pickled vegetable products in their broader food procurement scopes involve school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities sourcing general grocery and prepared-food supplies rather than garlic mustard specifically. State education agencies dominate recent food procurement activity, with school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia issuing the bulk of recent solicitations; other frequent buyers include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and individual institutional food service operations at facilities such as veterans homes and supported living centers. Representatives of the broader food commodity purchasing pattern include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, under cooperative purchasing rules), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes in multiple forms—approximately 7,616 cases with delivery to Salem, Oregon by June 19, 2026—and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools with deliveries to 52 locations from July 1, 2026 (due April 27, 2026).

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with Georgia and Missouri school districts, Texas state agencies, and Oregon corrections departments posting the most recent solicitations. The code itself sees minimal direct activity; recent opportunities tagged to broader food procurement classes include specifications for canned vegetables, condiments, and prepared items, but garlic mustard appears only incidentally in the composite line items of larger institutional food buys rather than as a stand-alone procurement category. Solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing with six-month or annual price redetermination tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, full-truck delivery requirements (typically eight truckloads per annual contract), compliance with Buy American and USDA grade standards, and evaluation weighted heavily toward lowest responsive bid. School nutrition programs drive the volume, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million (HHSC El Paso) to $9 million (Douglas County Schools main-line distribution) over initial one-year terms, and most buyers reserving the right to split awards across multiple vendors by line item.
