UNSPSC 50484005: Sugar snap pea purees

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

UNSPSC 50484005 Sugar snap pea purees is a Commodity code that reflects food-service procurement across state and local institutions, though the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show little actual demand for sugar snap pea purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad consumable-food purchasing for institutional kitchens and food programs—cafeteria operations at schools, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and senior-services programs. The institutions buying under this code seek shelf-stable and frozen staple items including proteins, grains, dairy, canned and fresh vegetables, condiments, and disposable food-service supplies, typically in case quantities ranging from single to double-digit annual volumes. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and specialized state facilities (HHSC-managed state supported living centers). Solicitations are almost exclusively informal written quotes, IFBs, or sealed competitive bids, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal Buy American provisions, USDA product grades, HACCP requirements, debarment and suspension certifications, and state E-Verify mandates.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHSC has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin consumables and noncontract items, IFB, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 13, 2026). Georgia school districts have solicited broadly—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid, due June 5, 2026)—as has Gwinnett County (IWQ 140229, informal written quote, due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's office acting for the Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from estimated annual spend of $1.5 million at a single HHSC facility (El Paso) to maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years for statewide HHSC supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, issued May 19, 2026). The code shows no standout activity for sugar snap pea purees in isolation; vendors pursuing this code should expect mainstream food-distribution and institutional-supply competition rather than specialty produce demand.
