UNSPSC 50482703: Autumn giant 3 cauliflower purees

The variety of cauliflower known as autumn giant 3 cauliflowers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482703 Autumn giant 3 cauliflower purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food procurement for institutional feeding—school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state hospitals and supported living centers, and veterans' homes—covering hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen goods, canned vegetables, condiments, and consumables. The code's nominal focus on a single cauliflower variety has no bearing on the activity documented in recent solicitations, which treat food sourcing as general commodity procurement organized by product category rather than by specific cultivar or brand.

State and local school districts and state agencies dominate the issuing body mix, with school nutrition programs appearing in the majority of recent opportunities across Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and state correctional and health agencies account for additional significant volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering food service and on-campus programs with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026) with a historical price of $13.75 per case; the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026) covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school district procurement the dominant driver. The code shows consistent and substantial activity, but the actual purchasing is general institutional food supply, not the product specified in the code name.
