UNSPSC 50481900: Bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481900 Bean purees, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes nine recently posted opportunities spanning Texas Health and Human Services facilities, Georgia school districts, Oregon corrections and educational procurement, Illinois facilities, and Georgia county services—all involving food products and food service consumables. None of these solicitations specifically reference bean purees or pulse-based products. The Texas HHS and TDCJ procurements cover broad food categories including proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, and canned goods; the school nutrition bids specify fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods; and the Oregon canned-tomato and potato procurements target specific commodity staples. The absence of bean-puree solicitations in this recent activity set—despite food-service procurement being active across multiple state and local jurisdictions—suggests limited current demand or that bean purees, when purchased, are bundled into broader food-service line items rather than solicited separately at the commodity level.

If bean purees are being procured, they would most likely appear in institutional food-service contracts with state facilities (corrections, health and human services, education) or large county nutrition programs. The broader Class family covering prepared foods and food-service items shows consistent activity—Texas HHS, TDCJ, Georgia schools, and Oregon corrections all issue regular food bids—but the specific commodity code shows no detected recent solicitations. Monitor state HHS, corrections, and school-district nutrition procurement notices in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois for any shift toward commodity-level specifications that would surface bean-puree demand.
