UNSPSC 50486500: Turnip green purees

The type of vegetable known as turnip greens which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486500 Turnip green purees, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities posted under or near this code taxonomy encompass shelf-stable canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, prepared proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumable food-service supplies — but none specifically name turnip green purees as a line item. The opportunities cluster instead around broad food procurement for state institutions (supported living centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals), school nutrition programs, and county senior services, where buyers solicit dozens to hundreds of line items across multiple food categories at once, typically using IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) structures. When individual vegetable products do appear by type, they are requested as part of larger canned-goods or produce aggregations rather than as standalone commodity bids.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia) with additional solicitations from Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections) and Illinois. The Texas HHS solicitations — notably HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026 under IFB) and HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026 under IFB) — represent the most directly relevant recent activity, though both treat food as multi-category aggregated procurement rather than single-item commodity buys. Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases) and the various school nutrition bids from Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 in May 2026, Burke County Public Schools in May 2026) demonstrate that state and local governments do procure specific preserved-vegetable items, but turnip green purees do not surface in these records.
