UNSPSC 50486823: Dau mue or pea tips purees

The type of vegetable known as dau mue or pea tips which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486823 Dau mue or pea tips purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone item. The recent solicitation activity under this code does not reflect procurement of dau mue or pea tips purees. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly involve broad consumable-food provisioning for state institutions, school districts, and other public facilities—including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies. The discrepancy between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity suggests either a cataloging mismatch in state and local procurement systems or incidental inclusion of pea-based products within larger general-food contracts. Work being solicited includes weekly or quarterly food supply fulfillment for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and other institutional food service operations, typically via IFB or IWQ (informal written quote) notices with response dates ranging from days to weeks.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose nutrition authorities across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple IFB notices for food and consumables at state-supported living centers and hospitals; Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) are active school and county nutrition buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, response due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items, response due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case on the prior award). Contract values where disclosed range from estimated annual spend of $1.5 million at individual facilities to $4.5 million maximum potential over three years for statewide supplemental food procurement. Buy American compliance, HACCP plan requirements, debarment certifications, and E-Verify compliance are standard across solicitations. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois and an incomplete posting from Oregon.
