UNSPSC 50481949: Tonka bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481949 Tonka bean purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under this code—the recent-opportunities block contains no tonka bean procurement activity whatsoever. Instead, the fifteen listed opportunities spanning six months (January–June 2026) overwhelmingly target bulk food supply for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions: canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, condiments, and kitchen supplies in quantities measured in cases and truckloads. Issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and other public agencies (Georgia state procurement). None of these opportunities involve tonka bean purees or any comparable specialty ingredient.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest: Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County school districts), Texas (HHSC procurements, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC canned tomatoes and tomato paste), and Illinois (state veterans home). Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 supplemental food and consumables IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical spend $1.5 million annually), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid 26-34 for 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 food line items across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026). The code's nominal commodity name does not align with actual procurement scope—standard food supply chain goods dominate the recent record, with no evidence of tonka bean or related specialty agricultural products entering state or local procurement pipelines.
