UNSPSC 50486109: Savoy spinach purees

The variety of spinach known as savoy spinach which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486109 Savoy spinach purees is a Commodity code that in practice sees little state and local procurement activity directly tied to the product category. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code or adjacent food items focus instead on broad consumables procurement for institutional food service — including fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared items — rather than pureed spinach specifically. The buying bodies soliciting under related food commodity codes span state health and human services departments, state correctional and criminal justice agencies, county social services departments, and school districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a major buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for consumables and food products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Oregon's Department of Corrections also conduct regular food procurement. The scope of work reflects institutional food service supply chains: vendors bid on line-item food products with firm, fixed unit pricing; manage delivery to designated facilities (often multiple locations) within specified timeframes, typically within seven days of order receipt; maintain cold-chain and shelf-life compliance; and meet USDA grade, FDA, Buy American, and HACCP standards where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued at least four IFBs between May and October 2026 for food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals, with historical annual values reaching $1.5 million and potential multi-year contract values up to $4.5 million. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) solicited cafeteria food products under IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas. Georgia school districts conducted separate food bids in May and June 2026: Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) both sought comprehensive grocery procurement spanning nearly 400 line items each. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident bidder preferences. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Illinois issued FY-27 IVHQ weekly food orders (due June 26, 2026). The source contains no direct recent solicitation explicitly requesting savoy spinach purees; the code appears to capture institutional food service demand broadly rather than a single product category.
