UNSPSC 50482901: Bright lights chard purees

The variety of chard known as bright lights chard which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482901 Bright lights chard purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for chard purees or any similar specialized vegetable purees; instead, state and local governments are procuring broad food supply and child nutrition services — fresh produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, prepared foods, and consumable supplies — through school districts, state agencies, and corrections departments. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the materials actually being bought today, suggesting limited relevant activity under this specific commodity designation.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans multiple states including Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state agencies in those jurisdictions posting food procurement solicitations between January and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections posting ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requesting sealed bids for comprehensive food products and supplies (due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia seeking a Master Grocery K-12 contract through IFB 2000004323 covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools (due April 27, 2026). These solicitations are uniformly open competitive procurements with no identified set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, firm fixed pricing requirements, and awards to lowest responsive bidders.
