UNSPSC 50486805: Arrowhead purees

The type of vegetable known as arrowhead which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486805 Arrowhead purees, a Commodity code, covers branded and generic pureed fruit products — specifically arrowhead and similar varieties — that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show that public entities buy arrowhead purees as part of broader food and produce portfolios for school cafeterias, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes, though the code appears rarely as a standalone line item and more commonly surfaces within multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs that span produce, canned goods, proteins, and specialty items.

The issuing bodies pursuing this commodity are predominantly school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), alongside state agencies managing institutional food service including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplying state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and Ben Hill County Schools. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and Texas, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Upper Midwest (Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) seeking 210 line items of food and consumable products with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering grocery supply and weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with firm pricing and potential midterm adjustments tied to 5 percent or greater manufacturer price increases. Buy American Act compliance, HACCP food safety certifications, and firm or fixed pricing for 12-month periods remain standard contract terms across these procurements.
