UNSPSC 50485811: Sea kale purees

The variety of sea vegetables known as sea kale which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485811 Sea kale purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments use it to tag food-service solicitations for institutional consumption, though recent opportunities show the code applied to broader consumable-food purchases—prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and food-service supplies such as containers, napkins, and disposables—rather than sea kale purees specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals, school districts (primary and secondary), county social-services departments, and corrections agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers. The code reflects the purchasing pattern of institutional food service across multiple jurisdictions: high-volume, commodity-oriented, branded-or-equivalent procurement with firm fixed-unit pricing, delivery within 7 to 72 hours, and compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, and facility-specific meal-pattern requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited consumables and food products for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) and El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-residency and Oregon-fabricated preferences (IFB, due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools posted a comprehensive food bid for four school locations (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026); Burke County Public Schools in Georgia solicited nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories (due June 5, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller of Public Accounts) solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Most solicitations use F.O.B. Destination pricing with delivery prepaid and included, require minimum references and company qualifications, demand compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, and impose debarment and E-Verify certifications. School districts typically enforce Child Nutrition and Smart Snacks compliance; state facilities impose complaint resolution and product-replacement obligations within defined timeframes.
