UNSPSC 50485300: Pea purees

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

UNSPSC 50485300 Pea purees is a Class code. State and local governments procuring under this code buy food products for institutional feeding operations—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations tagged to this code, however, show minimal pea puree–specific activity; instead, the code appears to capture general food procurement where purees may be one line item among hundreds in broader food-service contracts. School nutrition programs and state health and human services agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home system, and Georgia school districts. When pea purees do appear in solicitations, they are typically embedded within larger multi-category food buys spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods rather than solicited as standalone commodity purchases.

The code sees activity across the South and Midwest, with recent opportunities concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026), covering multiple NIGP food classes including proteins and prepared items; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste and related processed foods (response deadline March 9, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response deadline April 27, 2026), serving 45 schools with nearly 400 line items; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition procurement including fresh, frozen, dairy, and specialty foods (response deadline June 15, 2026). The code does not report recent standalone pea puree procurements; it functions primarily as a catch-all category within institutional food-service contracts where individual commodities are priced and specified by line item. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should expect to bid on full food-service line lists rather than pea purées in isolation.
