UNSPSC 50594900: Dried Non GMO mustards

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO mustards that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50594900 Dried Non GMO mustards, a Class code, represents a narrow product category that state and local governments purchase as part of broader food-service and school-nutrition solicitations. In practice, dried mustard appears as one line item among hundreds in bulk grocery and food-supply contracts for school districts, state institutions, and county food-service programs. The work being solicited under this code spans institutional meal preparation — school breakfasts and lunches, senior congregate dining, state-supported living centers, and summer food programs — where dried mustard functions as a condiment and ingredient rather than a standalone procurement focus. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state health and human services agencies, with occasional county involvement. School districts represent the bulk of activity, driven by National School Lunch Program compliance and the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards that govern ingredient sourcing and labeling.

Recent opportunities show activity across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American domestic-content requirements of at least 51 percent. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026), with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and Hillsborough County in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Dried mustard, when purchased, appears within these consolidated food-service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity bid. The code shows no dedicated mustard-specific procurements in the recent record.
