UNSPSC 50483101: Bok choy purees

The variety of chinese cabbage known as bok choy which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483101 Bok choy purees, a Commodity code, nominally names a single produce product; however, recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this narrow scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting bok choy purees or related leafy-green purees. Instead, the tagged opportunities solicit broad consumable-food contracts—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting prepared foods and food service supplies for state supported living centers; Gwinnett County requesting shelf-stable groceries (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) for senior services; the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting canned tomatoes; and school districts in Georgia and Texas requesting multi-category food and kitchen products for cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies span state health and corrections agencies, county social services, independent school districts, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of institutional end-users. The work involves competitive bidding on multi-item food supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and vendor performance verification requirements. Set-asides and preferences are minimal—Oregon applies a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders in the canned-tomato solicitation; Georgia school districts invoke Buy American Act compliance; Texas HHS references optional HUB Subcontracting Plans but does not require them.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas (three HHS and TDCJ solicitations from May through August 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Schools, and State of Georgia from May through June 2026), and Oregon (two Department of Corrections and Department of Education solicitations in June and July 2026). Representative opportunities include Texas HHS IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million); the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF covering approximately 382 line items across five warehouse regions (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026); and Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable groceries for delivery to Senior Services by December 7, 2026 (due October 19, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with bok choy purees specifically—the UNSPSC tag appears to be a data-classification misalignment rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand.
