UNSPSC 50482908: White king chard purees

The variety of chard known as white king chard which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482908 White king chard purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed vegetable products for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code, however, show minimal direct procurement of chard purees; instead, issuing bodies are buying broad consumable food portfolios—fresh produce, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and food service supplies—for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Texas school districts, and Gwinnett County (Georgia) are among the recent active buyers. The mix spans state departments, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose institutional operators, all of which treat food procurement as high-volume, low-margin line-item purchasing under IFB or IWQ notices with firm fixed pricing, delivery-within-seven-days performance standards, and compliance burdens including USDA grade certification, Buy American Act conformance (where applicable), HACCP plans, debarment certifications, and liability insurance thresholds.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon over the past four months. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food (bids due June 15, 2026); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026). The code shows little recent solicitation activity specifically for chard purees as a standalone line item; chard and leafy greens appear in broader fresh or frozen produce categories within these multi-hundred-line-item food service contracts, not as named commodity purchases.
