UNSPSC 50482603: Berlicum carrot purees

The variety of carrots known as berlicum carrots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482603 Berlicum carrot purees is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for Berlicum carrot purees or any narrowly defined carrot puree product. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are soliciting carrot products—fresh carrots, frozen vegetables including carrots, canned tomatoes, canned goods broadly, and miscellaneous produce—under much broader food service categories. The code name itself designates a specific processed vegetable product, but the actual state and local market under this code appears dormant or untagged in recent procurement notices.

Activity across state and local jurisdictions centers on school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, and state hospitals procuring food and consumable products through IFBs and RFPs. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and subordinate facilities with a historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases; school districts such as Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Douglas County Schools in Georgia seeking comprehensive food supply contracts through RFPs; and the Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly food order request (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The absence of any recent opportunity tagged to this specific Berlicum carrot puree code signals that if purchases do occur, they are either labeled under broader commodity or family codes or sourced infrequently enough to escape recent posting.
