UNSPSC 50484001: China pea purees

The variety of green peas known as china peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484001 China pea purees (Commodity) covers frozen or shelf-stable pea products sourced from or processed in China that state and local governments procure as components of institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically tagged to this code. The code represents a narrow product line within the broader spectrum of food procurement that school districts, state facilities, and institutional cafeterias conduct through their food service operations. State and local issuing bodies that might draw on this commodity—school districts, state health and human services agencies operating residential or medical facilities, correctional departments, and veterans homes—typically consolidate pea purees and other vegetable products into larger integrated food procurement contracts rather than soliciting them as standalone line items. When pea products appear in recent institutional food solicitations, they are generally embedded within comprehensive grocery or food supply bids covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods.

Recent state and local procurement activity under or near this code is sparse and does not demonstrate a clear market for China pea purees specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and supplemental food procurement HHS0016792 serving state hospitals and living centers statewide both encompass broad vegetable categories but do not isolate pea purees as a line item. Similarly, school district food bids from Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and Liberty County Schools (Georgia) source produce and prepared vegetables through competitive grocery procurement vehicles without signaling demand for China-origin pea purees as a distinct commodity. The code shows no geographic concentration—Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Georgia, and Illinois appear sporadically in state and local food procurement activity overall, but none of the recent opportunities explicitly reference this commodity. Buyers at these jurisdictions are evaluating produce, frozen vegetables, and protein sources on basis of price, USDA compliance, Buy American requirements, delivery frequency, and vendor performance history; specialized pea products from China do not surface as a procurement priority in current solicitations.
