UNSPSC 50484119: Recao purees

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

UNSPSC 50484119 Recao purees (Commodity) describes shelf-stable food products purchased by state and local government agencies for institutional food service—specifically schools, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and county senior services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for shelf-stable canned and packaged goods including sauces, condiments, and prepared food components that meet USDA grade standards and compliance requirements (FDA labeling, sodium limits, shelf-life minimums). Issuing bodies span multiple institutional sectors: state health and human services agencies purchasing for residential and congregate-care facilities, state correctional departments, state educational agencies, county school districts, and county social services departments. The work involves competitive bidding on line-item food supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, vendor qualification documentation (references, liability insurance, HACCP certification where applicable), and delivery performance tied to service locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary solicitations from Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products for state-supported living centers—notably HHS0018082 for Lufkin (due October 23, 2026, 22 line items, IFB) and HHS0017449 for El Paso (historical value $1.5 million annually, IFB). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026). Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools have issued competing food bids spanning hundreds of line items with July 2026 contract start dates. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's office, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 food line items across five distribution regions (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017460 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due July 27, 2026). Buy American Act compliance, Child Nutrition standards, and state procurement affirmations are routine requirements; Texas bidders claiming state preference and Oregon-resident or Oregon-fabricated vendors receive statutory preferences where applicable.
