UNSPSC 50482905: Rhubarb chard purees

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

UNSPSC 50482905 Rhubarb chard purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—vegetable purées—diverges sharply from the opportunities tagged under this number, which reflect actual food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies purchasing broad grocery and produce categories rather than specialized purée products. The recent opportunities under this code emphasize staple proteins, frozen entrees, fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, and prepared foods sourced through school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional departments—none naming rhubarb chard or other vegetable purées as line items or delivery requirements.

State and local procurement under this code shows activity primarily in school nutrition (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state health and human services (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic concentration spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities 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), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). These solicitations emphasize volume food service supply with firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance, HACCP and food safety certification, Buy American provisions where applicable, and awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding or best value analysis. The code appears to be a miscategorization in the state and local system—rhubarb chard purées represent a narrow specialty product unlikely to drive pursuit activity at this code tier.
