UNSPSC 50485703: Best of all rutabaga purees

The variety of rutabagas known as best of all rutabagas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485703 Best of all rutabaga purees (Commodity) encompasses consumable food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show that state and local buying under this code spans a much broader range of shelf-stable and prepared foods—fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, grains, condiments, and food service supplies—rather than rutabaga purees specifically. State departments of health and human services, county school districts, county boards of commissioners, state departments of corrections, and state prison systems are the primary issuing bodies, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and various Georgia and Oregon school districts appearing as repeat buyers. The work being solicited includes procurement of ingredients and supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations, typically with annual contract terms, renewal options, and firm-fixed pricing subject to limited escalation provisions tied to indices such as the Consumer Price Index or USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for food and consumables to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, proposals due July 13, 2026) and HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), with estimated historical values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multiyear terms. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services under IWQ 140229 (quotes due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division procured approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. School districts in Ben Hill County, Burke County, and other Georgia jurisdictions regularly issue comprehensive school nutrition food bids encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple product categories, with Ben Hill Schools' IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, procures cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum), encompassing approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas.
