UNSPSC 50481948: Tamarind bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481948 Tamarisk bean purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The source shows no solicitations for tamarind bean purees or any specialized bean purees; instead, the code tags opportunities soliciting general food supplies, fresh produce, canned goods, and comprehensive grocery procurement for schools, correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and veterans' homes. The mismatch between the nominal code name and the work actually being bought suggests this code is either mis-tagged in state and local procurement systems or receives minimal relevant activity.

The recent-opportunities block demonstrates that state and local governments procure food and consumables through a broad, recurring pattern: school districts dominate the activity, with additional solicitations from state correctional departments, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans' homes. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) represent the largest concentration of recent opportunities, typically issuing IFBs and RFPs annually for July-June contract cycles; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two separate IFBs (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792, the latter with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) for food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other bulk food items; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products; and the State of Illinois issued RFQs for weekly food orders at veterans' homes. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) with Buy American requirements and HACCP compliance mandates; the Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for fresh produce (posted March 27, 2026, due April 27, 2026) with evaluation based on markup above USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News Index pricing.
