UNSPSC 50481926: Guar gum bean purees

The variety of beans known as guar gum beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481926 Guar gum bean purees, a Commodity code, sees sparse recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specialized food ingredient used in food manufacturing and preparation, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code—primarily school nutrition and institutional food service contracts—do not reflect procurement of guar gum bean purees themselves. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting complete food product catalogs, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees, which do not align with the narrow commodity scope of guar gum bean purees. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by procurement offices or minimal direct demand for guar gum bean purees as a standalone line item under this code in state and local contracting.

The recent opportunities show activity concentrated in school districts and state institutional food service across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with most solicitations issued between January and June 2026. Representative procurements include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid covering fresh and frozen produce, proteins, and supplies for four school locations (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract seeking comprehensive grocery supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). These opportunities reflect large-volume institutional procurement driven by child nutrition and state supported living requirements, yet none explicitly name guar gum bean purees or similar specialized thickening agents as line items. Without demonstrable recent demand for the specific commodity this code names, the code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on guar gum bean puree supply.
