UNSPSC 50485704: Marian rutabaga purees

The type of vegetable known as marian rutabagas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485704 Marian rutabaga purees is a Commodity code that covers branded or equivalent vegetable puree products purchased by state and local nutrition and food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations specifically for rutabaga purees. Instead, state and local buyers are sourcing a far broader range of food products — fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumables — through IFB, RFP, and RFQ processes. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recurring buyers including Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Burke County Public Schools; state corrections departments, health and human services commissions, and veterans homes round out the procurement base. Within this food-service ecosystem, a narrow commodity code like 50485704 would typically be used only if a buyer explicitly specified marian rutabaga puree as a line item or requested quotes for that specific product, which the current opportunity set does not reflect.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with concentrated recent solicitation flow through Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Douglas County school systems), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County). The representative opportunities show Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with a July 13, 2026 due date and estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One by March 4, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026. No state or local issuing body in the recent opportunities block explicitly requested marian rutabaga puree, indicating that pursuit under this code would require identifying a buyer whose meal-planning or dietary-specification documents call out this product by name.
