UNSPSC 50486842: Mallows purees

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

UNSPSC 50486842 Mallows purees, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable condiment and dessert products used in institutional food service operations at state and local facilities. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily institutional cafeteria and food service operations serving captive populations in state-supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The work solicited encompasses not mallows in isolation but rather commodity food procurement more broadly—including canned proteins, vegetables, grains, condiments, sauces, and related kitchen consumables—bundled into larger food supply contracts where mallows purees appear as one line item among hundreds in multi-category RFPs, IFBs, and IWQs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of state agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products to supply state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, including HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, July 2026) with a historical guideline value of $1.5 million annually, and HHS0016792V2 (statewide supplemental food and consumables, IFB, March 2026) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for school nutrition products with delivery to four schools (bid opening June 2026), and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) solicited comprehensive grocery procurement across five schools for the 2026–2027 school year (sealed bids due June 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 2026), and Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces for community services (due October 2026). These contracts typically require firm, fixed pricing on all-inclusive FOB Destination terms with delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt and compliance with USDA, FDA, and product-specification standards; most include renewal or extension options spanning 12 to 36 months.
