UNSPSC 50486826: Fiddlehead ferns purees

The type of vegetable known as fiddlehead ferns which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486826 Fiddlehead ferns purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single food product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect fiddlehead-fern procurement — instead, the code shows substantial recent activity for broad consumable food products and supplies serving institutional food-service operations, including prepared and specialty foods (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, condiments, canned and fresh produce), food-service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, gloves, trays), and kitchen equipment. State agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products at state supported living centers and hospitals; secondary activity comes from county and municipal school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia) and state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The Texas HHS Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with at least three recent solicitations under this code spanning June through October 2026. Activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement from Oregon and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082, posted October 16, 2026, for consumable foods and food-service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases and delivery required within seven days of order; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center required within 72 hours; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, with delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, and a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026, for multiple food categories and kitchen supplies across four school locations with bids due June 15, 2026 and Buy American Act compliance required on all food products.
