UNSPSC 50486834: Jicama purees

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

UNSPSC 50486834 Jicama purees is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity focused on food service supply chains for institutional cafeterias, dining facilities, and food service operations. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show minimal activity explicitly naming jicama purees; the sourced records reveal instead broad institutional food procurement solicitations where jicama purees would fall within larger shelf-stable or fresh-produce line-item groups. The code's practical application reflects how state and local buyers organize food-service consumables—school districts, corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and county social-service providers all solicit food products on a commodity-group basis rather than ingredient-specific line items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state corrections agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and specialized state-supported living centers. These jurisdictions typically bundle food procurement into comprehensive annual or multi-year contracts covering hundreds of line items across protein, produce, dairy, dry goods, and consumable supplies, with delivery-within-seven-days or delivery-within-72-hours performance standards common across notices.

Recent procurement activity for institutional food supplies spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery and three-reference verification requirements. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for senior services, specifying peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, and sauces with delivery to a single Lawrenceville facility within 72 hours. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #26271 for a comprehensive school nutrition program bid due June 15, 2026, spanning fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations under Buy American Act compliance. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) due June 19, 2026, with 5% Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences applied. Pricing structures across these opportunities follow F.O.B. Destination with freight included, firm fixed rates for initial periods (typically 30 to 12 months), and subsequent adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index verification. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit jicama purees by name; the code shows limited standalone activity and would apply only when jicama purees appear as a line item within a larger institutional food-supply framework.
