UNSPSC 50594905: Dried Non GMO southern mustard

The variety of Non GMO mustard known as Non GMO southern mustard 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 50594905 Dried Non GMO southern mustard is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure ingredient-level food items for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent solicitations reveal that while the code nominally describes a single dried condiment product, state and local buyers are actually using this code tag for broad grocery and food-supply contracts spanning multiple ingredient categories—fresh produce, packaged goods, proteins, seasonings, and prepared meal components. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and counties managing child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and senior meal services, with one state-level procurement (Georgia). The scope of work in recent opportunities includes providing over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snack items to school central warehouses and multiple designated delivery sites, all subject to Buy American Provision compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food-safety documentation, and blind laboratory testing by school personnel.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with the highest-profile opportunity being the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services, valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years and due June 25, 2026, requiring state caterer licensure and 24/7 operational capacity. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued BNB052266 for grocery items to the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services requested food and consumables under IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million). Payment terms are typically Net 30 to Net 45 Days, pricing is firm fixed with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted unless indexed to the Consumer Price Index, and all vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence and carry additional insured designations.
