UNSPSC 50484119: Recao purees

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

UNSPSC 50484119 Recao purees is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within food ingredient supply, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code does not show puree procurement directly. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code encompass broad food service provisioning — weekly and quarterly food orders for state facilities, institutional food supply for corrections and health services, and school nutrition programs — where purees may appear as line items within larger grocery or food product contracts rather than as standalone purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Fairfax County Public Schools) alongside state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations). School districts dominate the activity, typically sourcing food for child nutrition programs across 5 to 60 school locations, with contract values ranging from implicit (small quarterly orders) to approximately $9 million annually for comprehensive food supply and distribution.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast — Georgia, Texas, and Missouri school districts post frequently — with secondary activity in Oregon corrections procurement and Illinois veteran home logistics. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for state supported living centers with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food products across four school locations with Buy American requirements; Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery and Net-Off-Invoice solicitations (both due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Contracts typically run July 1 to June 30 (fiscal year alignment for schools) with renewal options of 1–4 years, firm pricing for the initial term, and midterm adjustments limited to manufacturer price changes or indexed to USDA agricultural pricing or CPI. Most solicitations require sealed bids submitted electronically (Bonfire portals are common), firm fixed F.O.B. Destination pricing inclusive of transportation, commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, Buy American compliance where federal funds apply, and HACCP/food safety certification; awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or, in cooperative purchasing, are evaluated on price competitiveness and past performance.
