UNSPSC 50482019: Monogram beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482019 Monogram beet purees is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity actually purchasing beet purees. The most recent opportunities on file span Texas health and human services facilities, Oregon corrections, Georgia school districts, Illinois state agencies, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, but none of the representative solicitations name beet purees as a line item or specify them by brand or preparation method. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code cover broad food service procurement — consumable and prepared foods for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities, including proteins, produce, canned goods, frozen items, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, utensils). The issuing bodies are state departments of health and human services, state corrections agencies, county school districts, and county boards of commissioners across multiple states. The work is transactional, commodity-based purchasing under IFB and informal written quote (IWQ) vehicles with response cycles of one to three weeks.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), with sporadic activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County's informal written quote 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026. School nutrition programs and institutional food service drive most volume, with contracts typically spanning one year plus renewal or extension options and requiring F.O.B. Destination delivery, vendor references, compliance certifications including E-Verify and debarment verification, and liability insurance thresholds. The code shows active procurement momentum but mismatch between the nominal commodity (monogram beet purees) and the actual purchasing activity (broad institutional food service).
