UNSPSC 50482700: Cauliflower purees

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

UNSPSC 50482700 Cauliflower purees, a Class code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers pureed cauliflower products, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect this specific commodity—instead, the block shows general food procurement across multiple categories by school districts, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state institutions. The actual purchasing under this code appears to fall within broader food service and nutrition supply contracts rather than cauliflower purees as a standalone line item. State and local buyers soliciting under this UNSPSC family include school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and state hospitals across multiple jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of canned tomatoes and tomato paste (February and March 2026), and school district food service bids in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia spanning spring and early summer 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with additional school district solicitations in Missouri and Virginia. The Texas procurements—HHSC HHS0017449 ($1.5 million historical value, IFB, July 2026) and the Comptroller-managed TDCJ cafeteria food bid (IFB 304T26300CF, May 2026)—represent the largest and most recent state-level activity. Georgia school districts including Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, and Savannah-Chatham County issued separate fresh produce and food supply RFPs and IFBs with March through June 2026 response dates. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy issued an RFQ for quarterly food orders (February 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, April 2026). The code shows no true Cauliflower purees-specific opportunities; state and local agencies buying under this code are actually procuring comprehensive food service and nutrition supplies, suggesting either broad tagging upstream or minimal dedicated purchasing for pureed cauliflower as a line item within larger food contracts.
