UNSPSC 50486507 Tokyo turnip purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service operations—primarily cafeteria, dining facility, and canteen supply. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reveal that buying entities are sourcing wide-ranging consumable food items and food service supplies to support state-operated residential facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county commissioners and school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and county social services. The scope of work spans prepared and frozen proteins (chicken wings, pre-cooked patties, fish portions), dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables, grains and starches, condiments and sauces, and food service consumables (containers, napkins, straws, foil, hairnets). Bidders must meet USDA grade and FDA standards, provide firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, include transportation as F.O.B. Destination prepaid, and maintain three verifiable references for similar contracts. Most solicitations require compliance with Buy American Act provisions, HACCP certification, E-Verify authorization, debarment and suspension certifications, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000.
