UNSPSC 50486825: Donqua purees

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

UNSPSC 50486825 Donqua purees is a Commodity code covering specialty fruit and vegetable purees procured by state and local governments primarily for food service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, veteran homes, and school nutrition programs. The code sees modest recent activity focused on institutional food supply chains rather than retail or consumer channels. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, departments of education, school districts, and veteran homes across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois' quarterly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (RFQ, February 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato purchases (ITB S2910000015837 and S2910000016405, with historical reference pricing). The code sits within a broader institutional food procurement landscape dominated by fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods rather than purees specifically.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Georgia based on recent solicitation volume. Texas shows the highest concentration through HHSC and TDCJ procurements with contract values in the millions of dollars annually; Oregon Department of Corrections issues regular ITBs for canned and processed items; Illinois Veterans Homes and school districts in Georgia (including Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and Burke County Public Schools) round out the active jurisdictions. Most institutional food procurements are let as IFBs or RFQs with firm fixed pricing, quarterly or annual terms, and renewal options extending two to five years. Buy American provisions, USDA grade compliance, food safety certifications (HACCP, debarment), and comprehensive insurance (typically $1 million general liability) are standard requirements. The code does not report strong standalone puree demand; purees appear as line items within broader food and consumables RFPs rather than as primary procurement objectives. Activity is steady but not concentrated—this code merits monitoring for institutional food service opportunities rather than pursuit as a standalone commodity focus.
