UNSPSC 50486103: Giant winter spinach purees

The variety of spinach known as giant winter spinach which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486103 Giant winter spinach purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and prepared food products procured by state and local institutions for food service operations, canteen operations, and nutritional programs. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show that issuing bodies are actually buying a much broader range of consumable food items—fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies—rather than spinach purees specifically. The code appears to function as a catch-all category for food procurement across institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, state corrections facilities, state schools, county and municipal school districts, and county senior services operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for food and consumables to serve state facilities statewide.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHS issued IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and earlier IFBs for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and statewide supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (due March 19, 2026). Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026). Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools posted food bids for school nutrition programs covering hundreds of line items with delivery to multiple school locations. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent (due June 19, 2026). Illinois issued an FY-27 quarterly food order solicitation (due June 26, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity under its nominal scope—no actual giant winter spinach puree solicitations appear in the recent opportunity block.
