UNSPSC 50482102: Broccoli romanesco purees

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

UNSPSC 50482102 Broccoli romanesco purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh vegetable purees and processed produce items for institutional food service and procurement operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring shelf-stable and prepared food products for facility operations, including state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, school districts, and county social services organizations. The actual buying activity reflects a broader institutional food service pattern: recent solicitations tagged to this code or closely related produce categories show state agencies purchasing prepared and specialty food items alongside fresh produce, frozen products, canned vegetables, proteins, and food service supplies in bulk quantities for managed facilities—state supported living centers, correctional institutions, school cafeterias, and senior services programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of health and human services, state departments of corrections, school districts and school nutrition programs, and county service agencies; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerge as repeat high-volume buyers across multiple solicitations.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple competitive solicitations in 2026 for food and consumables serving state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso (IFB HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five warehouse regions due May 4, 2026. Georgia school districts—Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools—solicited comprehensive food bids covering nearly 400 line items each for 2026-2027 school nutrition programs (Burke County due June 5, 2026; Ben Hill due June 15, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments due October 19, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections bid 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a related produce commodity) due June 19, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity with no solicitations explicitly naming broccoli romanesco purees as a discrete line item; opportunities are predominantly bundled into broader institutional food service contracts where produce items are one of many categories competing for awards.
