UNSPSC 50484700: Malanga purees

The type of vegetable known as malanga which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484700 Malanga purees (Class) does not see substantial recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers malanga purees, a specialty tropical root vegetable product, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification reflect general food and consumable procurement by state agencies, counties, school districts, and corrections departments—not malanga purees specifically. The recent solicitations span fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the breadth of food categories actually being solicited suggests this code is either underutilized, miscoded at entry, or not the primary classification state and local buyers apply to food procurement in this sector.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and living centers, with one procurement (HHS0016792V2, March 2026) spanning 210 line items and a potential three-year value of $4.5 million. Georgia school districts—including Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools—and Gwinnett County have issued competitive food bids for the 2026–2027 school year. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, June 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, bid approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic warehouse areas (May 2026). No representative opportunities specifically identify malanga purees as a line item or major component.
