UNSPSC 50484118: Perilla purees

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

UNSPSC 50484118 Perilla purees (Commodity) does not reflect the current state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The most recent opportunities posted under 50484118 span shelf-stable food procurement — canned tomatoes, bulk potatoes, prepared and frozen foods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and condiments — for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code nominally names a single product (perilla purees, a Southeast Asian paste), yet the recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring diverse commodity-level food products in bulk quantities for cafeteria and canteen operations. This mismatch signals that 50484118 is either a catch-all or default code applied to institutional food procurement regardless of specific item, or that the indexing at source does not reflect the actual scope of work.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), state education authorities (Georgia, Illinois), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, both Georgia), and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, 22 line items, due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food for Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case); Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026, multiple food categories across four schools); and Burke County Public Schools sealed bid (nearly 400 line items across five schools, bids due June 5, 2026). Contracts typically run 12 months or longer with renewal options, include F.O.B. Destination delivery terms with freight prepaid, require three verifiable references, demand compliance with federal food standards and state E-Verify requirements, and impose HACCP, debarment, and liability insurance certifications.
