UNSPSC 50482903: Lucullus chard purees

The variety of chard known as lucullus chard which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482903 Lucullus chard purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and prepared vegetable products purchased by state and local institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show state and local governments buying far broader food-service portfolios that only incidentally include specialized produce items like chard purees. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and specialized state agencies (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). The dominant pattern is institutional food procurement—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services—where vendors supply 50–400+ line items of prepared and shelf-stable foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies across multi-year contracts.

Recent opportunities confirm this work across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools posted IFB #26271 in May 2026 for school nutrition food across four schools with bids due June 15, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) for distribution across five geographic regions; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for senior services. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a single-commodity bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional work in Illinois. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal and extension options, require F.O.B. Destination pricing including delivery, and demand compliance with USDA standards, E-Verify, debarment certification, and liability insurance.
