UNSPSC 50482605: Nantes carrot purees

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

UNSPSC 50482605 Nantes carrot purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The single relevant opportunity in the recent dataset does not isolate Nantes carrot purees as a distinct line item; instead, the State of Illinois issued RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821 on June 18, 2026, for quarterly weekly food orders covering July through September 2026 with a June 26 response deadline, encompassing brand-specific or equivalent food products for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. The broader recent opportunities dataset shows state and local procurement concentrated on comprehensive grocery and produce contracts serving school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services institutions across Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all posted major food and produce solicitations between January and June 2026. Corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of State Health Services) also appear as repeat institutional buyers seeking bulk food commodities.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia appearing in seven recent opportunities) and includes Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative institutional food procurements show the scale and scope that dwarfs single-commodity purchasing: the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution (PE64810NONST2026000000046) targets $9 million annually across 32 schools; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 budgets $1.5 million for the prior period for state-supported living centers; and Rockwood R-VI School District's two concurrent grocery solicitations (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 and CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027) together span over 1,100 line items. Canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, and prepared entrees are the commodity staples. The code's narrow focus on a single branded product variant places it far outside mainstream state and local food procurement, where institutional buyers consolidate demand across hundreds of line items and favor tiered-pricing, performance-based vendor relationships, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Prospective vendors targeting this code should recognize that carrot purees—whether Nantes-variety or equivalent—compete within broader produce and vegetable categories managed through master grocery contracts, and standalone commodity-level opportunities remain rare in the active dataset.
