UNSPSC 50486800: Nominant vegetable purees

Vegetable types that belong to no other class and have no other vegetable commodities related to them which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486800 Nominant vegetable purees, a Class code, spans prepared and shelf-stable food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—primarily state health and human services facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show the code applied broadly to consumable food and kitchen supplies beyond strict purees: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center named prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, sauces) and food service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets); Gwinnett County's informal written quote for the Department of Community Services covered shelf-stable items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, and canned vegetables; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes for distribution to its Central Distribution Center. Issuing bodies range across state departments of health, human services, and corrections; county social services and purchasing divisions; school districts and nutrition programs; and special-purpose facilities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for consumables across state supported living centers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for the Lufkin facility (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for food items (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for a comprehensive food bid covering fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, and pantry staples across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia solicited sealed bids for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories for five schools (due June 5, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (extended due date May 4, 2026). Pricing is typically firm and fixed for an initial period, with adjustments permitted thereafter tied to third-party indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data or the Consumer Price Index. Delivery terms are almost uniformly FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in quoted price, and response windows typically run seven to fourteen days from posting.
