UNSPSC 50482017: Forono beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482017 Forono beet purees is a Commodity code. The code shows little relevant recent activity—recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code solicit general food and produce procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, but none specifically name forono beet purees or beet products as line items in the available documentation. The solicitations reflect broad food service and nutrition contracting across school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments, with typical scope encompassing hundreds of food line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, grains, and prepared foods, yet forono beet purees do not appear as a distinct commodity in representative recent bids from these issuing bodies.

School districts dominate recent activity under the broader food procurement codes that might theoretically include beet products—Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Ben Hill County Schools all issued competitive food bids in the second quarter of 2026—alongside state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia Department of Education. Geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs concentrated in the South. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state-supported living centers (response due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026). The absence of forono beet purees as a named line item across dozens of recent school and institutional food solicitations suggests minimal or no current state and local procurement demand for this specific commodity at the time of posting.
