UNSPSC 50482700: Cauliflower purees

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

UNSPSC 50482700 Cauliflower purees (Class) encompasses the supply of prepared and processed vegetable products to state and local institutional food-service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct cauliflower puree procurement. The opportunities posted under this code reflect a much broader institutional food-service contracting pattern: state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county nutrition programs, and school districts are procuring shelf-stable and prepared food items—including canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies—for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and school cafeterias. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of health and human services, state correctional agencies, county boards of commissioners and school districts, and regional school systems across the South and West. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, with contract values ranging historically to $1.5 million annually and up to $4.5 million over three-year periods with renewal options.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with 22 line items and an estimated annual quantity ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026; quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB (posted June 5, 2026; bids due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with delivery to Salem, Oregon. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional school district solicitations in Georgia. The code shows activity under IFB and IWQ notice types, with response deadlines typically seven to thirty days from posting and delivery requirements of seven days to thirty days from order or purchase order issuance, F.O.B. Destination terms, and firm pricing for initial contract periods.
