UNSPSC 50482018: Monaco beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482018 Monaco beet purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show no active procurement for this specific product. The code's nominal scope—branded beet purees from Monaco—does not align with the actual buying patterns documented in the recent opportunities block. State and local purchasing under food procurement codes typically spans broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional consumption at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, and county social services programs. The opportunities posted over the past four months show demand for proteins, frozen vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable kitchen supplies in bulk quantities with FOB Destination delivery to multiple facilities or distribution centers, but none identify Monaco beet purees or beet purees of any brand as a line item.

The issuing bodies driving state and local food procurement activity include Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia entities (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement, and individual school districts across multiple states. Recent opportunities from Texas, Georgia, and Oregon show IFBs and IWQs posted in May through October 2026 with response dates typically 7–30 days after posting. The Texas and Georgia school nutrition and institutional food bids dominate recent activity, with contract values ranging from implied six-figure annual spend (school districts) to $4.5 million potential over three years (Texas HHS statewide supplemental food). No recent solicitations name Monaco beet purees or any beet puree product as a specified or acceptable line item. A vendor focused on this specific commodity should monitor broader UNSPSC codes for institutional food procurement (50000000–50900000 ranges covering prepared foods, fresh produce, and canned vegetables) rather than rely on activity under this specific code.
