UNSPSC 50484126: Tumeric purees

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

UNSPSC 50484126 Turmeric purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single spice product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to turmeric or spice purees specifically. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad food procurement by state departments, counties, school districts, and other public institutions — ranging from consumable-foods solicitations for state-supported living centers to comprehensive school-nutrition food bids spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and kitchen supplies. The actual work being solicited is institutional food service contracting for cafeterias, canteens, senior centers, correctional facilities, and other public-operated food operations, where vendors supply shelf-stable and fresh foods, beverages, condiments, and food-service consumables on delivery schedules measured in days to weeks.

Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia county boards of education (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with single entries from Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 posted October 16, 2026, for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, response due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 posted October 13, 2026, for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services (response due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' sealed-bid food procurement posted May 19, 2026, for multiple food categories across four school locations (response due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes posted June 5, 2026, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for 382 line items of cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026), illustrate the scale and diversity of food-service contracting in this space. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction — Oregon applies a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; Georgia school districts apply Buy American Act requirements with 51 percent domestic-grown minimums; and Ben Hill County Schools requires HACCP plans and liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence.
