UNSPSC 50494800: Organic mustard purees

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

UNSPSC 50494800 Organic mustard purees is a Class code that in practice names a narrow ingredient category, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope of food procurement — shelf-stable groceries, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service consumables supplied to institutional kitchens, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are mixed: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Illinois), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ), state education agencies (Georgia, multiple county school districts including Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Texas HHS Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with at least three recent solicitations for facility food service supply in 2026. The work involves competitive bidding on fixed line items with firm unit pricing, FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, minimum shelf life and quality requirements, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, and reference-and-capability documentation. Many school nutrition bids cite the Buy American Act and Child Nutrition meal pattern requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (three HHS Commission bids plus the TDCJ cafeteria procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County IWQ, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and a state-level food supplies bid), and Oregon (canned tomatoes bid from the Department of Corrections). The Texas HHS Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026; the same agency issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) with a maximum potential three-year value of $4.5 million and responses due March 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes via IFB S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase history at $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools requested food product bids due June 15, 2026, under IFB #26271 for school nutrition supply across four locations. Burke County Public Schools in Georgia issued a 400-line-item school food bid due June 5, 2026. The mismatch between the code name and the actual scope—no recent opportunities specifically mention organic mustard purees—suggests this code either sees no current activity at the commodity level or is applied inconsistently in state and local systems.
