UNSPSC 50483608: Radice amare endive purees

The variety of endives known as radice amare endives which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483608 Radice amare endive purees is a Commodity code covering specialized produce products, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The code appears inactive in recent state and local procurement — the opportunities block lists one Oregon potato procurement (July 2026) that lacks sufficient specification detail, and all remaining recent opportunities (Texas health and human services food and consumable contracts, Georgia and Illinois institutional food orders, Georgia and Oregon prison and school district nutrition procurements, Ben Hill County Schools food bid) address generic shelf-stable food products, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies rather than endive purees or specialized bitter-greens products. These mislabeled or miscoded opportunities represent broad institutional and correctional food service sourcing across prepared meals, condiments, frozen proteins, fresh and canned vegetables, and disposable food-service supplies — work substantially outside the endive purée category. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools), and municipal school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools). Texas agencies (particularly HHSC and TDCJ) and Georgia school systems appear as repeat buyers.

Geographic spread centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, and occasional activity in other states. Texas HHS issued three separate food and consumable bids (June, August, and October 2026) for state supported living centers and hospitals, and TDCJ issued a large institutional cafeteria food procurement in May 2026 for warehouse distribution across five geographic areas. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill, Burke County) and Gwinnett County posted nutrition and food service bids in May and June 2026. Oregon's Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a previous award at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest, and the state issued a potato procurement in July 2026. Illinois posted a quarterly food order for July-September 2026 in June. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center and other state facilities, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million; the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services; and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas. The code shows little current market activity specific to endive purees or specialty vegetable products.
