UNSPSC 50482021: Regalia beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482021 Regalia beet purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a single specialized food product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code—ranging from Texas facility foodservice contracts spanning hundreds of line items to Georgia school nutrition procurements and Oregon canned-goods purchases—show no solicitation for beet purees or similar specialty vegetable purees. The opportunities instead reflect broad institutional food supply contracts where canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods dominate actual purchasing. State and local governments buying under this code do so primarily through their health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state hospitals and supported living centers), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections).

The geographic activity cluster lies in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple fiscal-year cycles. Recent opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' large IFB for canned tomatoes at approximately 7,616 cases (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food-and-supplies IFB covering multiple school locations (due June 15, 2026). The code shows little to no purchase history aligned with its nominal commodity definition; the mismatch between the code and actual recent procurement suggests either miscategorization in source records or dormancy in demand for beet purees specifically from state and local buyers.
