UNSPSC 50486825: Donqua purees

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

UNSPSC 50486825 Donqua purees is a Commodity code that names a single food ingredient; state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad consumable food products for institutional kitchens and food service programs, not purees specifically. Recent solicitations from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice reflect procurement of shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, frozen specialty items, dairy products, condiments, breads, fresh and prepared meats, and food service supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county social services agencies, county corrections systems, school districts, and state correctional authorities. Institutional food service appears to dominate the code's activity, driven by recurring annual or multi-year contracts for high-volume consumable supply to facilities serving vulnerable populations or incarcerated individuals.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice running multiple concurrent procurements and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County conducting active bidding cycles. Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Illinois also show recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, and sauces for senior services (response due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bid due June 19, 2026, prior purchase at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies for four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027).
