UNSPSC 50484111 Fenugreek purees is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty food ingredients and prepared condiments used by state and local institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that state departments, counties, and school districts are procuring shelf-stable and fresh consumable foods for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. The buying includes prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, sauces, tortillas, pasta, rice, canned proteins, and condiments), fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and disposable items. Issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited canned tomatoes; Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia sought comprehensive food bids; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for shelf-stable items; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller, procured cafeteria food products. These are primarily institution-based food service programs supporting long-term care, correctional, school, and senior services populations.
