UNSPSC 50486622: Loche pumpkin purees

Variety of winter pumpkin known as loche pumpkin which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486622 Loche pumpkin purees is a Commodity code covering specialized pumpkin products state and local governments procure as part of broader food service contracts. The recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal; the block contains no dedicated pumpkin puree procurement but rather general food and produce solicitations that may encompass such items as part of larger line-item menus. School nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies, but they typically source pumpkin purees alongside hundreds of other food and consumable products rather than in standalone procurements. The mix of solicitations shows school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems competing across geographic regions spanning Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois.

Representative recent activity shows the category is dominated by composite food service contracts rather than single-commodity procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, and an earlier statewide supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, both covering 210 line items encompassing breads, dairy, frozen foods, and consumable supplies alongside whatever pumpkin products may be specified. Similarly, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and vegetables to multiple warehouse locations. Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, April 2026) and multiple Georgia school district solicitations (Liberty County Board of Education IFB for food products, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County) all seek comprehensive grocery procurement across hundreds of line items where pumpkin purees would be embedded items rather than primary focus. The code shows little standalone activity and would be pursued primarily through vendors capable of meeting large composite food service contracts with firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance, and HACCP certification across multiple facility locations.
