UNSPSC 50486807: Arum purees

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

UNSPSC 50486807 Arum purees, a Commodity code, is not reflected in current state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span food-service procurement for state facilities, school districts, and county government from May through October 2026, but they target broad consumables categories—canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for institutional cafeterias, canteens, and nutrition programs—rather than arum purees specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia Department of Community Services, Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all solicited food products during this period, but none reference arum purees as a line item or procurement focus. The only opportunity that mentions potatoes by variety (Oregon Department of Corrections, July 2026) and the only that addresses root vegetables implicitly (through broad fresh-produce categories in school nutrition bids) do not isolate arum or any taro-family product.

Arum purees do not appear as a material line item in any of the recent institutional food-service solicitations in the dataset. State and local food procurement under this code's nominal scope concentrates on shelf-stable staples, USDA-grade proteins, fresh and frozen vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees for prisons, state hospitals, school cafeterias, and senior-services programs across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Unless arum purees are specified as part of a broader fresh or specialty-produce category in an IFB or RFQ response document, there is minimal current activity in this specific commodity. Firms in the taro or tropical-root-vegetable supply chain may find more traction bidding general fresh-produce categories in school nutrition or institutional food-service solicitations than pursuing this code directly.
