UNSPSC 50482709: Purple cape cauliflower purees

The variety of cauliflower known as purple cape cauliflowers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482709 Purple cape cauliflower purees is a Commodity code covering specialized vegetable purees and prepared produce items purchased by state and local agencies for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show little activity specifically for purple cape cauliflower purees; the code appears to see infrequent, narrowly targeted procurement. The issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts under related commodity codes include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These jurisdictions source food for institutional cafeterias, canteens, campus dining, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. The broader food commodity market shows sustained activity across multiple UNSPSC codes related to prepared foods, canned vegetables, fresh produce, and food service supplies, with contracts ranging from under $100,000 to over $4.5 million over multi-year terms.

Recent opportunities in related food commodity codes cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior historical value of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). These solicitations consistently require firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery within seven days of order, three verifiable references, compliance with federal food standards and E-Verify, and minimum liability insurance of $500,000 to $1,000,000. The code itself shows limited recent direct procurement activity; most state and local food service demand flows through broader commodity codes encompassing canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods rather than specialty purees.
