UNSPSC 50486806: Arugula purees

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

UNSPSC 50486806 Arugula purees is a Commodity code that describes fresh or processed vegetable purées for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on bulk food supply for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. The solicitations show that arugula purees appear as line items within broader food-service consumables bids that span proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice and social service agencies. The work is episodic and event-driven — each institution periodically solicits annual or multi-year food supply contracts that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items, with arugula purees appearing as one component alongside french fries, canned vegetables, fresh proteins, and kitchen consumables.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables to supply state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0018082, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872, posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026; and HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), with the El Paso procurement indicating a prior-period monetary value of $1.5 million. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited comprehensive school nutrition food products (IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026 (S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026), and a separate Oregon procurement for potatoes was posted July 17, 2026 with insufficient detail. No recent opportunity explicitly names arugula purees as a standalone line item; the code shows activity through its presence within multi-category food-service bundles rather than as a dedicated procurement vehicle.
