UNSPSC 50485405: Valencia peanut purees

The variety of peanuts known as valencia peanuts which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485405 Valencia peanut purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single food product, but state and local procurement records show little direct recent activity purchasing peanut purees under this specific code. Instead, state and local governments buy packaged food products — including peanut butter, canned proteins, shelf-stable staples, and other prepared or shelf-stable items — as part of much larger, multi-line-item food-service solicitations for institutional facilities. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments operating supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal social services agencies, state departments of corrections, and school districts operating child nutrition programs. These entities typically consolidate purchases of peanut butter and related protein products with dozens or hundreds of other food items into single comprehensive food-service contracts rather than issuing separate procurements for individual commodity lines. The scope generally covers food delivered to institutional cafeterias, canteens, warehouses, or distributed through nutrition programs, with F.O.B. Destination delivery required within 7 to 30 days of order placement, firm fixed pricing on a per-unit basis, and compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, and often Buy American Act requirements for school nutrition programs.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state-operated facilities (HHS0016792v2 in May 2026 for $4.5 million over three years across 210 line items; HHS0017872 in August 2026 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center; and HHS0018082 in October 2026 for the same Lufkin facility), with responses typically due within one to three weeks. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food including peanut butter and jelly due October 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a 5% Oregon-resident preference. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive food bids for their school nutrition programs (due June 15, 2026, and June 5, 2026, respectively), encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple food categories. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products through the Texas Comptroller in May 2026. All recent opportunities specify sealed competitive bidding (IFB or IWQ notice types), require three verifiable references and company qualification statements, mandate compliance with suspension and debarment certifications and E-Verify requirements, and include price-adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index indices for renewals.
