UNSPSC 50482000: Beet purees

The type of vegetable known as beets which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482000 Beet purees, a Class code, covers shelf-stable and prepared vegetable products procured by state and local institutions for food service operations, canteen programs, and institutional meal provision. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and related fresh and processed produce line items show demand for canned vegetables, frozen and fresh produce, condiments, prepared entrees, and consumable food service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, serving utensils) across institutional dining facilities. The buyer mix spans state health and human services agencies operating residential care facilities, state corrections departments, school districts, and county social services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat issuer, soliciting food and consumable products for state-supported living centers and hospitals; Georgia and Oregon issue school and corrections procurement, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures for statewide warehouse distribution to correctional facilities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with recent opportunities posted across all three states between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, sauces, prepared foods, and food service supplies) for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables, proteins, rice, and sauces for the Department of Community Services in Georgia, due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, due June 19, 2026. The code's recent activity reflects steady institutional food service demand with delivery windows typically 7 to 72 hours post-order, F.O.B. Destination pricing, and vendor compliance requirements including liability insurance, E-Verify verification, debarment certification, and HACCP or food safety plan documentation.
