UNSPSC 50482009: Chioggia beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482009 Chioggia beet purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract name describes a specific processed vegetable product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations naming chioggia beet purees or beet purees of any kind. The nine opportunities posted between May and October 2026 cover broad food service procurement for state agencies, counties, school districts, and detention facilities—including cafeteria food products, canned tomatoes, potatoes, and weekly food orders—but none specify beet purees as a line item or material component. The one Oregon potato procurement (S2910000017460, July 2026) lacked sufficient detail to confirm scope, and the Illinois weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, June 2026) provided no itemized breakdown.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the broader food-service codes overlapping this category span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state supported living centers across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and living centers (HHS0016792V2, May 2026, IFB, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), Ben Hill County Schools' FY 26-27 school nutrition food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, May 2026, IFB, due June 15), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes procurement (S2910000017145, June 2026, IFB, approximately 7,616 cases). Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Texas representing the highest volume of recent postings. State and local food service procurement under these codes emphasizes USDA compliance, delivery within specified timeframes, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation, and references or vendor performance history. Beet purees as a standalone commodity do not appear in any posted opportunity; vendors pursuing this code should expect opportunities to emerge only when institutions specify beet products as line items within broader institutional food service contracts.
