UNSPSC 50484116: Papalo purees

The variety of herbs known as papalo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484116 Papalo purees is a Commodity code that describes fresh or processed papalo-based condiment products, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code appears limited. The recent opportunities dataset does not show direct papalo puree solicitations; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broader food service procurement for state agencies, counties, school districts, and corrections departments. The work actually being solicited under allied food procurement codes—and likely under papalo purees when tagged—encompasses fresh produce, shelf-stable staples, prepared foods, condiments and sauces, and food service supplies for institutional food service operations including state supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and specialized state procurement divisions. Texas appears frequently as a buyer through the Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of Criminal Justice, with additional recent activity from Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon corrections, and Illinois state agencies.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and noncontract food items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bid deadline August 25, 2026), which solicited sauces and prepared foods alongside food service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); and Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply warehouse locations across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The code shows steady state and local procurement activity, concentrated in Texas and Georgia with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois, though the actual scope of papalo-specific opportunities within the broader food service category cannot be quantified from available records.
