UNSPSC 50485306: Zipper cream pea purees

The variety of peas known as zipper cream peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485306 Zipper cream pea purees is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and prepared food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations specifically for pea purees themselves. Instead, the code appears in a broader institutional food-service procurement context where state agencies, county governments, school districts, and state-supported facilities source multiple prepared and canned food items as part of larger consumables contracts.

State health and human services agencies dominate solicitation activity under this code tier. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued three recent IFBs for food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0018082 for Lufkin in October 2026, HHS0017872 also for Lufkin in August 2026, and HHS0017449 for El Paso in June 2026). School districts across Georgia and Texas regularly solicit food products through IFBs—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice TDCJ procurement all posted food bids between May and June 2026. County government purchasing offices also appear: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in October 2026, and Oregon Department of Corrections issued a competitive bid for canned tomatoes in June 2026. The State of Illinois and the State of Georgia also posted food procurement notices, though detail on Georgia's May 2026 posting was limited. Representative work spans prepared proteins (chicken wings, ground beef, brisket), frozen specialty items (burritos, corn dogs), dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables, condiments, and consumable supplies like food service gloves and disposable containers—products typically ordered in case quantities for monthly or quarterly delivery to central distribution or individual facility locations.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas (health and human services, TDCJ, and school districts), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, and the State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Recent activity spans May through October 2026, with most IFBs requiring response within 7 to 30 days and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms. Issuing bodies typically evaluate lowest responsive and responsible bidders, require three verifiable references, verify non-debarment and E-Verify compliance, and demand compliance with USDA grade standards and FDA regulations. No recent opportunities in the source are explicitly tagged to zipper cream pea purees as a discrete line item; the code's current procurement volume cannot be determined from the opportunities presented.
