UNSPSC 50481900: Bean purees

The type of vegetable known as beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481900 Bean purees is a Class code. State and local governments buy food products and consumables under this code as part of comprehensive nutrition and food service procurements for schools, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show that bean purees and related legume products are solicited alongside canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods in broad food service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The mix of issuing bodies reflects school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) as the primary users, alongside state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home). School districts dominate recent activity, collectively representing the largest volume of food procurement opportunities on the board.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering NIGP food service categories including fresh, frozen, and canned goods with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food procurement spanning produce, meat, dairy, and supplies across four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026) supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement (HHS0016792) encompasses 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years. Most school district solicitations are IFBs with firm fixed pricing and competitive awards to lowest responsive bidders, while some larger regional procurements use RFP structures with multi-factor evaluation. Buy American requirements appear consistently across K-12 nutrition procurements, and school districts frequently require whole grain, low-sodium, and nutritionally specified options aligned with USDA Child Nutrition Program standards.
