UNSPSC 50485301: Purple hull pea purees

The variety of peas known as purple hull peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485301 Purple hull pea purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable legume products and prepared vegetable purees for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show little activity specifically tagged to this code. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader institutional food procurement across multiple categories—fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared proteins; dairy; condiments; sauces; and service supplies—issued by state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school districts, and county governments. The issuing bodies are predominantly state-level procurement offices (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). State health agencies managing state-supported living centers and state hospitals dominate the activity, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing repeatedly as a high-volume buyer across multiple facilities.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities), with a supplemental statewide food and consumables IFB valued up to $4.5 million over three years. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouses. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) issued food bids for school nutrition programs in May and June 2026, and Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with quotes due October 19, 2026. No recent opportunities are specifically for purple hull pea purees; the code shows minimal targeted procurement activity under its nominal scope.
