UNSPSC 50483707: Tardo fennel purees

The variety of fennel known as tardo fennel which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483707 Tardo fennel purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code is absent from recent opportunities, which instead cover broad grocery and food-service supply for institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state-supported facilities. The recent opportunities solicited by state and local agencies span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and general grocery staples — none specifically naming fennel purees or related specialized vegetable products. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs driving the bulk of procurement volume.

The code shows no concrete recent solicitations for fennel purees or comparable specialty processed vegetables. Opportunities posted since late January 2026 — including the Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato ITBs (S2910000016089 and S2910000016405, due March 9 and June 19, 2026), the Texas HHSC supplemental food IFBs (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with prior due dates and a current response deadline of July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB due June 15, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) — represent commodity food procurement at scale but do not reference fennel purees. The mismatch between the code's specialty vegetable scope and the general grocery focus of recent opportunities suggests the code is inactive or misapplied in current state and local procurement systems. Vendors targeting this code should verify with individual jurisdictions whether fennel purees are procured under alternative codes or sourced through cooperative agreements rather than competitive solicitations.
