UNSPSC 50483700: Fennel purees

The type of vegetable known as fennels which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483700 Fennel purees, a Class code, does not see meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement; the code appears misaligned with the actual buying activity in the opportunities dataset. The recent solicitations are dominated by broad food service procurement for school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies—encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cheese, proteins, and prepared entrees rather than fennel purees specifically. State and local governments procure these items through Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP), with issuing bodies spanning school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy).

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school district food procurement the dominant category across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products IFB (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes ITB for 7,616 cases (due June 19, 2026, at approximately $13.75 per case historically), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB for supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System food supply and distribution RFP serving 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9 million (due February 18, 2026). Because fennel purees are not named or referenced in any of the recent opportunities, pursue this code only if your firm holds supplier relationships with institutional food service distributors already competing for broader grocery contracts or if you hold a manufacturer relationship with a branded fennel puree product and intend to seek inclusion on food service cooperative purchasing vehicles or state master agreements.
