UNSPSC 50481915: Castor bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481915 Castor bean purees is a Commodity code that sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity. The source returns no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope; the ten most recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code involve general food service procurement — fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, pantry staples, and food service supplies — for institutional cafeterias, food banks, and kitchen operations. None of the opportunities explicitly reference castor bean purees or castor bean products. The code appears misapplied across the sample opportunities, which focus on mainstream commodity food purchases rather than specialty or processed bean purees.

State and local buyers in the sample include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center canteen, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case). The absence of castor bean puree line items across these opportunities signals either code misclassification in the state and local procurement system or minimal demand for the product under this taxonomy designation.
