UNSPSC 50485300: Pea purees

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

UNSPSC 50485300 Pea purees is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, covers shelf-stable packaged food products procured for institutional food service operations — primarily institutional bulk purchases of canned vegetables, sauces, and prepared foods for state facilities, school districts, and county departments rather than fresh pea purees alone. State and local governments buy under this code to supply cafeteria operations, food banks, and on-campus programs at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services centers. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) state-supported living centers, county boards of commissioners, school districts across Georgia and other states, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and state departments of corrections. Texas HHSC and Texas TDCJ are repeat buyers, each issuing multiple IFBs for bulk food products including canned goods, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies for fiscal year 2027 operations and beyond.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days of order; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products across multiple categories for four school locations (due June 15, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated preference of 5%). Texas HHSC also issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical contract value of $1.5 million annually (proposals due July 13, 2026). These procurements typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 72 hours to seven days, three verifiable references, proof of liability insurance, and E-Verify compliance or worker verification certifications.
