UNSPSC 50482022: Sugar beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50482022 Sugar beet purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code do not reflect actual procurement of sugar beet purees; instead, they show food service solicitations for institutional dining — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services — where purees appear incidentally, if at all, within broader consumables and food product line items. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under the tagged opportunities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products do so through mixed notice types: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issues IFBs for state supported living center consumables and supplemental food supplies (HHS0017872, HHS0018082, HHS0017449, HHS0016792V2); school districts in Georgia and Texas request sealed bids on comprehensive nutrition program groceries (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures cafeteria food through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (304T26300CF); the Oregon Department of Corrections bids canned vegetables (S2910000017145); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issues informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items (PE77023NONST2027000000782); and the State of Illinois and State of Georgia request bids on quarterly food supply fulfillment. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of health, education, and corrections, counties, and school districts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in recent months. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs since May 2026 for state facilities; Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County have active procurement activity; and Oregon's Department of Corrections bid canned tomatoes in June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with 22 line items of prepared and shelf-stable foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces; and Ben Hill County Schools' sealed bid (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, meat, dairy, and pantry staples across four school locations under the Buy American Act. No solicitations in the source explicitly procure sugar beet purees as a distinct line item or deliverable. The code does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.
