UNSPSC 50481602: Common chive purees

The variety of vegetable known as common chives which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481602 Common chive purees, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable and fresh ingredient procurement for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code source prepared condiments, seasonings, sauces, and specialty food items for cafeteria, dining, and food-service supply chains at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and public institutions. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school districts, and county governments managing large-scale institutional food supply chains. Recent solicitations show Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Georgia county school districts, Illinois state agencies, and Gwinnett County (Georgia) as repeat buyers. Work ranges from single-ingredient sourcing (canned tomatoes, potatoes) to broad consumables procurement encompassing dozens of line items including proteins, frozen items, condiments, sauces, and specialty prepared foods, all subject to USDA grade certification, shelf-life requirements, delivery-within-seven-days standards, and firm fixed pricing with optional price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary solicitations in Illinois and multi-state state-agency procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, with 5 percent Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preference applied (due June 19, 2026, previous award at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools Food Bid encompassing fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four schools (due June 15, 2026) under Buy American Act requirements. Texas HHSC HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million maximum over three years, due March 19, 2026) and Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations (382 line items, response extended to May 4, 2026) show larger institutional scale. Most solicitations require three verifiable references, F.O.B.
