UNSPSC 50485401: Bambarra groundnut peanut purees

The variety of peanuts known as bambarra groundnut peanuts which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485401 Bambarra groundnut peanut purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow slice of state and local food procurement — shelf-stable and prepared food products purchased by institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring broad categories of consumable foods and food-service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and other state and county operations. While the code nominally targets peanut purees specifically, the actual solicitations posted under it span prepared and fresh proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, grains, condiments, and disposable food-service supplies — a far broader scope than the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC posting repeatedly), state correctional and criminal justice departments, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and county schools. The mix skews heavily toward institutional food service operators managing high-volume, multi-location supply chains with tight delivery windows and compliance requirements around USDA grades, FDA standards, HACCP plans, and Buy American Act provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered opportunities in Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with seven-day delivery; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter and canned proteins for senior services, due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition (due June 15, 2026) spanning hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies for four school locations; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. Most solicitations are IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) procurements with response dates 7–30 days from posting, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms, firm fixed pricing, and mandatory compliance with debarment, E-Verify, and federal food-safety standards. The code shows consistent activity but with limited direct alignment to peanut purees — vendors pursuing this code should expect broader food-service supply work and should verify scope alignment on each opportunity.
