UNSPSC 50485702: Angela rutabaga purees

The variety of rutabagas known as angela rutabagas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485702 Angela rutabaga purees (Commodity) represents processed vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and human services centers. The code sees activity across school districts, state departments of corrections, and health and human services agencies sourcing canned and prepared produce items as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent solicitations show this commodity embedded within broader food procurement efforts: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for state supported living centers with pricing on a line-item basis; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) specifying USDA Grade B or better with sodium content limits and minimum shelf life; and school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) and multiple Georgia systems sourced prepared and specialty food items as part of comprehensive K-12 grocery contracts. The code shows minimal recent activity as a standalone commodity—most opportunities tag processed produce under broader NIGP class numbers or general food supply categories—suggesting that buyers classify individual vegetable products within parent food aggregates rather than sourcing them independently.

The issuing-body mix consists primarily of school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) alongside state human services and corrections agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs in the Southeast accounting for the densest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, FOB Destination with 5% Oregon preference, bid due June 19, 2026), the Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement for state facilities statewide (210 line items including prepared foods, historical value $1.5 million annually, bid due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (52 schools and distribution kitchens, minimum 76 items required, bid due April 27, 2026). No recent opportunities demonstrate sole focus on rutabaga purees; the code's activity reflects its placement within larger food-service aggregates where processed vegetables function as component ingredients rather than primary procurement drivers.
