UNSPSC 50482600: Carrot purees

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

UNSPSC 50482600 Carrot purees, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently underway in state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show no active solicitations for carrot purees or carrot-based products; instead, issuing bodies are procuring broad food-service consumables and institutional meal components. The code appears misaligned with buying patterns, making it unsuitable as a targeting vehicle for vendors in the carrot-puree supply chain.

State and local procurement under codes adjacent to or conflated with this commodity focuses instead on comprehensive food-service contracts spanning fresh and prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food-service supplies for state-supported living centers, school districts, correctional facilities, and county nutrition programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia and Texas school districts have posted multiple IFBs and IWQs since May 2026 soliciting hundreds of line items per contract—including canned tomatoes, frozen entrees, proteins, grains, and consumable supplies—with response dates between May and October 2026. Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026) identified a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (due June 5, 2026) each solicited nearly 400 line items for school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) procured 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from its prior February 2026 award. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois and Arizona. Vendors pursuing this segment should target Class codes and Families aligned with institutional food-service contracting rather than single-commodity puree codes.
