UNSPSC 50481910: Bobby bean purees

The variety of beans known as bobby beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481910 Bobby bean purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's narrow scope. The code nominally describes pureed beans as a food product, but recent opportunities in the source do not include solicitations for bobby bean purees or bean purees of any kind. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad consumable food procurement for state facilities, school districts, and corrections departments — including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, grains, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county governments, and independent school districts across multiple states. This mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems may apply the code as a catch-all category for food service purchasing rather than reserving it for its specified commodity.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), with one Illinois posting. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid covering fresh, frozen, and dry goods across multiple product categories (due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 canned tomato procurement for 7,616 cases, awarded previously at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest, illustrates commodity-level buying that aligns more directly with food product sourcing. Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal options and emphasize firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, USDA grade compliance, and references from prior similar projects. Set-asides are not prominent in the recent opportunities; Oregon applies a 5% state-residency preference, while Georgia school districts enforce Buy American Act requirements. With no dedicated bobby bean puree solicitations visible in the recent block, the code warrants monitoring for specialized institutional food contracting but does not appear to generate focused procurement activity at the commodity level.
