UNSPSC 50481924: Green or string bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481924 Green or string bean purees is a Commodity code that covers pureed green or string bean products for institutional food service. State and local governments procuring under this code buy prepared vegetable items as components of broader food service contracts—cafeteria supplies for schools, state institutions, and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations reveal a mixed picture: while the code itself is narrowly defined, state and local issuing bodies tag food procurement solicitations with broad commodity codes that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items, from fresh produce and canned goods to prepared entrees and consumable supplies. Green bean purees appear only incidentally, if at all, within these larger institutional food buys; the code shows no dedicated standalone procurements for pureed beans in the recent activity window.

Issuing bodies posting food service contracts include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state agencies), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), and special-purpose districts. School nutrition programs represent the heaviest recent activity, with multiple large districts conducting annual grocery and produce bidding. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering food service supplies across multiple NIGP classes with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026), soliciting weekly delivery of grocery products to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code itself generates little direct procurement signal—green bean purees do not appear as standalone items in any of the recent solicitations reviewed—suggesting that vendors selling this commodity operate as line-item suppliers within broader food service contracts managed by larger distributors or as minor components in consolidated institutional purchasing.
