UNSPSC 50483114: Shantung purees

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

UNSPSC 50483114 Shantung purees is a Commodity code that maps nominally to a specific preserved-fruit product category, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal relevant activity. The code appears in a single recent opportunity tagged to the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 canned-tomatoes bid, which does not involve Shantung purees or any purees at all; the mismatch suggests tagging error rather than actual procurement of the named commodity. State and local governments do solicit bulk food items—canned goods, shelf-stable proteins, fresh produce, and consumables—regularly through school districts, state health agencies, corrections departments, and social-service facilities, but these purchases typically route through broader food-service commodity codes rather than this narrowly specialized one. The issuing bodies in the broader food-procurement space span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and specialized facilities such as state supported living centers.

Recent opportunities in the wider food-procurement ecosystem show sustained activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with school nutrition programs and state institutional facilities driving volume. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years, bid deadline March 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (382 line items, delivery to six TDCJ distribution points, response deadline May 4, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products and supplies (multiple categories, four school locations, bids due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' bid for school nutrition food across five schools (nearly 400 line items, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). The Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomatoes procurement (7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026) exemplifies single-commodity bulk buying. UNSPSC 50483114 itself shows no current procurement signal—the code appears misapplied in available records and should be monitored for future activity rather than pursued based on present opportunities.
