UNSPSC 50482022: Sugar beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482022 Sugar beet purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity among state and local procurement bodies. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve broad food procurement for institutional dining and school nutrition programs—including weekly food orders for state veterans' homes, food and consumable products for state supported living centers and correctional facilities, fresh produce for school districts, and cafeteria supplies for K–12 systems—but none of these solicitations specifically name sugar beet purees as a line item or component of the work being solicited. The scope of work under UNSPSC 50482022 in practice remains unclear from the state and local market, as the opportunities listed span general institutional food service across state departments, county school systems, state correctional departments, and state health agencies, with actual procurement addressing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees rather than sugar beet purees or beet-derived products.

State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state hospitals and supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia. Geographic concentration spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school district nutrition programs and state facility foodservice operations as the primary buying activity. Representative recent 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 (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools plus distribution facilities). The code shows no evidence of current, active demand specifically for sugar beet purees or beet-based products in recent state and local solicitations.
