UNSPSC 50481950: Wax bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481950 Wax bean purees (Commodity) sees limited recent state and local procurement activity that is not directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting wax bean purees or similar legume-based prepared vegetable products. Instead, the opportunities posted under or near this code from June through October 2026 center on broad food-service procurement — consumable foods, shelf-stable staples, canned goods, and fresh produce — from institutional buyers including state health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, county services departments, and state corrections facilities. The wide gap between the code name and the work actually being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are not using 50481950 as the primary taxonomy marker for vegetable puree contracts, or that demand for wax bean purees specifically does not generate standalone solicitations at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies active in the broader food-procurement space under related codes span multiple jurisdiction types: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple bids for state supported living centers and state hospitals), state school districts and county boards of education (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered activity in Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response due) for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (October 19, 2026 due), and Ben Hill County Schools' sealed-bid food procurement (June 15, 2026 due) spanning fresh produce, dairy, and prepared foods. No recent solicitation in the available source material names wax bean purees or equivalent products as a line item or scope element. This code should be monitored for activity that aligns directly with the commodity name; current signals suggest minimal or mislabeled procurement under 50481950.
