UNSPSC 50482502: Gobbi cardoon purees

The variety of cardoons known as gobbi cardoons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482502 Gobbi cardoon purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code — including weekly food orders, institutional food supply contracts, fresh produce bids, and canned-goods solicitations from state facilities, school districts, and corrections departments — are generic food procurement that bears no meaningful connection to cardoon purees as a specialized product category. The opportunities instead cover broad food service and nutrition programs sourcing staple proteins, produce, dairy, pantry items, and prepared foods for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state hospitals. No recent solicitation explicitly names cardoon purees or specialty vegetable purees as a line item or scope element.

State and local food procurement under related codes is active across multiple issuing bodies—school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice)—with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026). However, the code's nominal scope—specialized vegetable purees—does not align with the routine institutional food sourcing actually being procured, signaling limited opportunity value under this specific commodity designation.
