UNSPSC 50484705: Islena malanga purees

The variety of malanga known as islena malanga which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484705 Islena malanga purees is a Commodity code that captures prepared and shelf-stable food products purchased by state and local institutions for food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show no direct solicitations for malanga purees specifically. Instead, the code's activity reflects broader institutional food procurement in which state agencies, counties, school districts, and other government entities source consumable food items—including prepared proteins, frozen specialty entrees, canned vegetables, and shelf-stable staples—for cafeterias, state-supported living facilities, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. The mix of issuers includes state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, county social service agencies, county schools, and independent school districts. Issuing bodies frequently post multiple rounds of food procurement annually to cover fiscal-year operations or quarterly supply needs.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three separate food and consumable procurements since May 2026, including IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and IFB HHS0018082 for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026 via IFB), each covering dozens of line items with annual usage ranging from single cases to 24 cases per item and prior-period values near $1.5 million. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—have solicited comprehensive food bids spanning nearly 400 line items each to supply five schools. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato bid for 7,616 cases (June 19, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal and extension options, and winning bidders are evaluated on specification compliance, delivery capability, past performance, and price.
