UNSPSC 50486810: Batatas purees

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

UNSPSC 50486810 Batatas purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments are buying prepared food items for institutional food service under this code, though the recent solicitations show that actual procurement spans a broader range of consumable food and kitchen supplies than the code name alone suggests. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, county school districts, state corrections agencies, and state health departments are the primary issuing bodies, using IFBs, RFQs, and informal written quotes to source prepared foods, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy products, condiments, canned goods, and disposable food service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. The work ranges from single-facility canteen supply contracts to statewide food service procurement serving multiple institutional locations with weekly or on-demand delivery, firm-fixed pricing structures, and compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, Buy American provisions (where school nutrition applies), and HACCP food safety protocols.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state-supported living centers and state hospitals with annual contract values approaching $1.5 to $4.5 million; representative opportunities include HHS0018082 (Texas HHS Commission, IFB for Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (Texas HHS Commission and Department of State Health Services, IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide, originally due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), and two school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—released comprehensive school nutrition food bids spanning hundreds of line items across multiple school locations (Ben Hill, due June 15, 2026; Burke County, due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under bid S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations statewide, extended to May 4, 2026. Illinois also appears in the dataset with FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food supply bids (due June 26, 2026), though scope detail is limited in the source.
