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 is a Commodity-tier code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations, not guar gum specifically. State and local governments solicit under this code to stock canteens, cafeterias, kitchens, and food service supply chains at state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and school districts. The work involves procuring prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, frozen entrees), proteins (beef brisket, chicken, turkey, fish portions), dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables and fruits, condiments, sauces, and consumable food service supplies (containers, lids, napkins, straws, foil). Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state facilities management offices. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent IFBs for state supported living centers and statewide supplemental food contracts. Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County also solicit actively under the code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with seven-day delivery required F.O.B.
