The type of vegetable known as sinquas

UNSPSC 50407052 Sinquas is a Commodity code encompassing fresh and prepared food items, food service supplies, and ancillary produce products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, canteens, and nutritional programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show active procurement of fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, and root crops), prepared and frozen food products, dairy items, proteins, grains, beverages, condiments, and disposable food service supplies (containers, napkins, trays, straws, foil sheets, hairnets) for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, mental health centers, senior services programs, and regional parks. The work spans single-line-item purchases of specific commodities (carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, fresh fruit and vegetables) through comprehensive multi-category food procurement covering 300 to 382 line items.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services commissions, state departments of criminal justice, school districts, county and municipal parks authorities, senior services divisions, and specialized mental health and care facilities across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear repeatedly as high-volume repeat buyers.
