UNSPSC 50486100: Spinach purees

The type of vegetable known as spinaches which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486100 Spinach purees, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for spinach purees or any spinach product. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad food service procurement across multiple product categories—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies—issued by state departments, school districts, and correctional facilities for institutional food service operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent purchasing activity signals that either the opportunities have been misclassified or the code does not capture meaningful state and local demand for spinach purees specifically.

School districts and state agencies dominate recent activity under this code area, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each issuing multi-hundred-line-item food procurement RFPs or ITBs in recent months. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections have also posted solicitations covering supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' June 2026 IFB for quarterly weekly food orders covering fresh and frozen produce, meat and seafood, dairy, seasonings, bread, ice cream, kitchen supplies, and cafeteria furnishings across four school sites; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and an initial term through August 31, 2027, plus one renewal option; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 ITB (S2910000017145) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with an incumbent reference price of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest and eight full truckloads required for delivery to Salem. All of these solicitations apply Buy American Act provisions, require HACCP compliance, impose firm fixed pricing for initial terms with limited adjustment mechanisms tied to federal indices or manufacturer price changes, and award to lowest responsive, responsible bidders.
