UNSPSC 50484900: Mustard purees

The type of vegetable known as mustards which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484900 Mustard purees, a Class code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, bakery items, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers — a portfolio far broader than mustard purees alone. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, and Douglas County School Systems in Georgia and Missouri; SCCPSS in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs driving the plurality of recent activity.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior annual period; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) for canned tomato products and ITB S2910000016089 (posted January 26, 2026, due February 9, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with most opportunities soliciting food and supplies on annual cycles (typically July 1 through June 30) using sealed bid or RFP formats; evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive bid or best value based on price, compliance with nutritional standards, Buy American compliance where required, and vendor capability. The code shows sustained activity but a consistent mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual procurement landscape—vendors pursuing this code should position as full-line food-service distributors or specialized suppliers of produce, proteins, and consumables to institutional food-service operations, not as mustard manufacturers or puree specialists.
