UNSPSC 50482404: White cabbage purees

The type of vegetable known as white cabbage which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482404 White cabbage purees is a Commodity code covering pureed vegetable products procured by state and local food service operations, primarily state agencies running cafeterias, dining facilities, and nutrition programs at institutional settings. The recent solicitations indexed under this code show little direct activity for cabbage purees specifically; instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader food procurement category spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products supplied to state hospitals, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies (particularly the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the State of Illinois, and Oregon agencies (Department of Corrections). The work solicited ranges from comprehensive annual food supply contracts with hundreds of line items to smaller consumable replenishments, with deliveries typically required within 7 to 30 days of order and pricing structured as firm fixed unit rates on a per-case or per-unit basis.

Activity under this code concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying El Paso State Supported Living Center (bid due July 13, 2026, with historical annual spend of $1.5 million), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products (bids due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid food procurement for five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, with previous award at $13.75 per case), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (extended response date May 4, 2026). Most institutional food procurements under this code apply Buy American Act requirements, mandate HACCP compliance, require minimum liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million per occurrence), and impose E-Verify verification and debarment certification obligations. No set-asides or preference programs are evident in the recent opportunities; Oregon provides a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, and Texas bidders claiming state preference must provide documentation of ownership and business structure.
