UNSPSC 50482101: Broccolini purees

The variety of broccoli known as broccolini which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482101 Broccolini purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a far broader scope of food procurement than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying shelf-stable and prepared food products—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, sauces, and consumable food-service supplies including containers, napkins, and hairnets—for institutional cafeterias, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and school nutrition programs. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Illinois), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county social services (Gwinnett County Schools), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas agencies—particularly the Health and Human Services Commission—appear as repeat buyers with multiple concurrent solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. School nutrition programs drive significant volume—Ben Hill County Schools solicited hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for four schools with bids due June 15, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools sought nearly 400 line items with bids due June 5, 2026. Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF encompasses approximately 382 food line items for multiple warehouse locations. Most solicitations require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, firm fixed pricing, minimum three references, and compliance with federal food standards (USDA grades, FDA labeling) and state procurement requirements including E-Verify, debarment certification, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 per occurrence.
