UNSPSC 50481919: Fava or broad bean purees

The variety of beans known as fava or broad beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481919 Fava or broad bean purees is a Commodity code representing food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—though the recent activity under this code does not reflect procurement of fava or broad bean purees specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities show wide-ranging consumable food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services, spanning prepared foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These jurisdictions reflect a mix of state agencies, county governments, and school districts managing high-volume food procurement for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs in 2026 for consumables at Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026), with the largest at $4.5 million potential value over three years. Gwinnett County (Georgia) solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each issued school nutrition food bids covering hundreds of line items for multiple school locations (due June 15, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively), with Buy American Act compliance required. The Oregon Department of Corrections procured 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with state preference applied. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026). Activity under this code shows minimal actual procurement of fava or broad bean purees; the code application appears misaligned with the scope of recent opportunities, which emphasize staple proteins, prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, and food service supplies rather than legume purees.
