UNSPSC 50482103 Broccoli raab purees is a Commodity code representing fresh or processed vegetable products that state and local governments source for institutional food service. Recent solicitations under this code and related vegetable procurement categories reveal that state and local buying extends well beyond broccoli raab specifically—to include shelf-stable canned and frozen vegetables, fresh produce, and assembled food service supplies for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state nutrition programs. Work is characterized by high-volume, multi-item food service procurement with firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA or FDA grading standards, strict delivery timelines (often within 7 days of order or 72 hours), and detailed nutritional or sourcing specifications including Buy American Act compliance, HACCP certification, and product shelf-life requirements.
