UNSPSC 50485400: Peanut purees

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

UNSPSC 50485400 Peanut purees, a Class code, describes shelf-stable protein food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — chiefly at state-operated facilities, school districts, and county social-service agencies. Recent solicitations show peanut purees and peanut butter appearing as single line items within broader food-supply IFBs and RFQs targeting canteen operations, school nutrition programs, and congregate feeding for seniors and residents of state-supported living centers. The code sees activity from state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county commissioners' purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level procurement divisions acting on behalf of correctional and institutional agencies. Issuing bodies typically conduct annual or multi-year solicitations for comprehensive consumables, with peanut butter or peanut puree as one of dozens of line items priced per case or unit, often with "brand-specific or approved equivalent" options and firm fixed-price terms holding through an initial contract year.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state-supported living center consumables (Lufkin and El Paso facilities) with response deadlines in August and October 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including peanut butter) via IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery within 72 hours and arrival by December 7, 2026 for senior services. Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia issued a comprehensive nutrition procurement (IFB #26271) due June 15, 2026, covering multiple food categories across four schools with monthly pricing adjustments permitted after initial 30-day firm period. Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois also appear in the recent queue. Vendors responding to these opportunities must typically provide three references for similar-scope contracts, certify non-debarment and E-Verify compliance, and accept F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid and included in total pricing; schools and state facilities often require HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000 minimum per occurrence common), and compliance with Buy American or state-preference provisions where applicable.
