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, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal or no direct activity purchasing fava or broad bean purees as a discrete product line. The source contains seventeen recent solicitations spanning Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, but none explicitly name fava or broad bean purees in their scope. Instead, the opportunities cluster heavily around general food service procurement for schools, state institutions, and correctional facilities—weekly grocery orders, comprehensive food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers, school nutrition program contracts for fresh produce and eggs, canned tomatoes, and cafeteria food products. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). This suggests the commodity code may be misapplied to these opportunities, or fava and broad bean purees do not currently represent a meaningful procurement category within state and local food service spending.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (five opportunities), Texas (four opportunities), Missouri (two opportunities), Oregon (two opportunities), and Illinois (two opportunities). Representative solicitations include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, with extended deadlines and an estimated maximum value of approximately $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), and multiple school district food contracts seeking fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared foods. No recent solicitation data directly supports active state or local procurement of fava or broad bean purees as a standalone commodity.
