The variety of chard known as perpetual spinach chard which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482904 Perpetual spinach chard purees is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little direct activity focused on spinach chard purees as a named line item. The work actually being solicited under the broader food-supply universe where this code resides includes fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services programs, and other institutional cafeterias. Issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (particularly the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia county and school systems (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon state departments (Department of Corrections), and Illinois state procurement. These solicitations emphasize compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling requirements, specific sodium and nutritional content limits, Buy American Act provisions where applicable, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order placement at multiple facility locations.
