UNSPSC 50483111: Ruffles bok choy purees

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

UNSPSC 50483111 Ruffles bok choy purees is a Commodity code for a specific prepared vegetable product, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no solicitations actually requesting bok choy purees or products substantially aligned with this code's nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this taxonomy are instead requesting broader consumable food products—shelf-stable items, canned goods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, and food service supplies—for institutional food service operations including state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, city and county schools, and state comptroller offices. The mix reflects the institutional character of state and local food procurement: large-volume consumables contracts serving regulated facilities with compliance, delivery, and quality assurance requirements.

Geographic concentration is evident in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominating the recent activity. Texas HHS has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables to supply state supported living centers statewide, including HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin facility, IFB due October 23, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and living centers statewide, maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, IFB due March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts and counties are active buyers—Ben Hill County Schools (food bid due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (nutrition food bid due June 5, 2026) solicited comprehensive grocery procurements for school year 2026-2027—as is the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026 with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences). Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items (IWQ due October 19, 2026). The code itself shows no recent procurement activity aligned to its product name; the opportunities listed reflect a broader food-service contracting ecosystem rather than demand for ruffles bok choy purees specifically.
