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, does not see recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for chioggia beet purees or beet-based products; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code cover broad food procurement by schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies — including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria staples, and general grocery items. The mismatch between the code's specific product name and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the source system or that state and local governments do not regularly solicit beet purees as a distinct commodity line. Pursue this code only if your firm supplies beet purees and can confirm that issuing bodies in your target geographies use this or related codes for actual solicitations; the current block provides no actionable intelligence on demand for the specific product.

The recent opportunities show heavy school nutrition procurement across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oregon, with additional activity in Virginia — driven by annual food service contracts for K–12 districts serving 6,000 to 25,000 students. State correctional departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas), and independent school districts dominate the issuing-body mix. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for canned tomato products (response due March 9, 2026, eight truckloads), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (response due April 27, 2026, serving 52 school locations). These opportunities emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food safety certification, and delivery to multiple distribution points — none specifically for beet purees.
