UNSPSC 50482500: Cardoon purees

The type of vegetable known as cardoons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482500 Cardoon purees, a Class code, does not see relevant state and local procurement activity in recent months. The source contains sixteen recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026, but none match the code's nominal scope. Instead, the records show school districts, corrections departments, and health agencies procuring broad food and consumable categories — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, dairy products, proteins, condiments, bakery items, and kitchen supplies — through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. Cardoon purees, a processed vegetable product, do not appear as a line item or procurement focus in any of these solicitations, which concentrate on high-volume staples and core meal-service ingredients rather than specialty or ethnic produce items.

State and local buyers active in this foodservice space include school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers; Illinois Veterans Home), and related state departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections). These issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois, with procurement volumes ranging from under $1 million to over $9 million annually. The code shows no activity that matches cardoon purees specifically, signaling either minimal state and local demand for this commodity or a classification mismatch in the source data.
