UNSPSC 50484201: Curly kale purees

The variety of kale known as curly kale which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484201 Curly kale purees (Commodity) shows minimal direct recent activity in state and local procurement, with no recorded solicitations specifically requesting curly kale purees over the past four months. The code's nominal scope — pureed curly kale as a finished food product — does not align with the broader food commodity procurement actually occurring across state and local jurisdictions. State agencies, school districts, county nutrition programs, and correctional facilities are soliciting shelf-stable prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, and food service supplies in bulk quantities, but curly kale purees do not appear as line items in any recent IFB, RFQ, or RFP postings reviewed. The mismatch suggests that when state and local buyers source kale products, they do so either under broader vegetable commodity codes, as components of multi-item food service contracts, or through cooperative purchasing arrangements not tagged to this specific code.

The recent opportunities in the dataset span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon and cover operational feeding programs for state supported living centers, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and county senior services centers. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026) valued at $1.5 million annually; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across four facilities (due June 15, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). These contracts emphasize USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery within 7–30 days of order, and commodity-scale quantities in cases or truckloads. Absent specific curly kale puree line items in current postings or vendor engagement patterns, this code does not represent an active procurement category at present.
