UNSPSC 50193106: Instant purees

Prepared purees from various vegetables of grains that have been dehydrated and packaged for future use

UNSPSC 50193106 Instant purees is a Commodity code that covers branded and unbranded fruit and vegetable purees supplied to institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. State and local governments procure these products as component items within broader food and consumables contracts rather than as standalone line items; they appear alongside proteins, dairy, produce, and prepared foods in multi-category food service bids. The buying base includes school districts (elementary through high school), state health and human services agencies operating institutional care facilities, state corrections departments, and specialized institutional dining operations such as veterans homes. School nutrition programs and state-supported living centers represent the most active recent procurement segments.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Missouri. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs with an estimated spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts, due March 4, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million for the prior period, responses due July 13, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) released IFB #26271 for comprehensive school food procurement across four schools, due June 15, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posted two separate solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due April 29, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via Comptroller of Public Accounts) issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, due May 4, 2026. The State of Illinois Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy issued RFQs for quarterly food orders, most recently due June 26, 2026. Instant purees do not appear as explicitly named line items in these solicitations; the code shows little directly relevant recent activity despite being tagged to the broader food procurement category.
