UNSPSC 50482005 Bonel beet purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and prepared food products purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service, including cafeteria operations, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers procuring prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, burritos, corn dogs, pre-cooked proteins), canned and frozen vegetables, dairy products, condiments, sauces, and food service consumables (containers, napkins, straws, foil). The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county and city school districts, and county social services departments. Texas dominates the recent activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) appearing repeatedly; Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County, along with Oregon's Department of Corrections and Illinois, represent secondary activity. The code shows consistent procurement across multiple issuing bodies rather than concentration with a single buyer.
