UNSPSC 50482001: Action beet purees

The variety of beets known as action beets which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482001 Action beet purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this category in current procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged with this code request canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, proteins, condiments, and a broad range of shelf-stable and refrigerated food service items for institutional food programs—not beet purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under this code include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and specialized state-supported living centers. The scope of work encompasses weekly or quarterly consumable food supply agreements for on-campus canteens, cafeterias, food service operations at detention facilities and institutional care settings, and senior services programs. Vendors bid firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, with delivery required within seven days of order in many cases, F.O.B. Destination terms, and references demonstrating prior performance on similar institutional food supply contracts.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with delivery to Salem (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and condiments for four school locations across the 2026–2027 academic year (bids due June 15, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a substantial IFB in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations statewide. Contract values where disclosed range from historical guidance of $1.5 million (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to a maximum potential of $4.5 million over three years (Texas supplemental food procurement statewide).
