UNSPSC 50486844: Moap purees

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

UNSPSC 50486844 Moap purees (Commodity) captures state and local purchasing of prepared food items for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation record shows the code is being applied to a much broader range of consumable foods — prepared entrees, frozen specialty items, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies — rather than fruit or vegetable purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and state hospitals, school districts procuring for nutrition programs across multiple campuses, and departments of corrections supplying institutional cafeterias. The typical scope spans dozens to hundreds of line items with unit pricing, firm fixed rates, delivery within 3 to 30 days of order, FOB Destination terms, and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling, nutritional specifications, and shelf-life minimums. Issuing bodies routinely require three verifiable references, proof of liability insurance (typically $500,000 minimum per occurrence), E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, HACCP plan implementation for food safety, and rapid complaint resolution within 72 to 90 hours. Contract values range from under $100,000 to $4.5 million over three years when renewal options are included.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with standout repeat buyers being the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (three IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals posted between May and October 2026) and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas procurement also includes the Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria foods (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (IWQ for shelf-stable foods, due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes bid, due June 19, 2026). A State of Illinois quarterly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026) and an Oregon potato variety solicitation (due July 27, 2026) add minor activity outside Texas and Georgia. Bidders should expect competitive sealed-bid or informal quote processes with 7- to 30-day response windows, addenda managing specification changes and delivery logistics, and awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or single or multiple vendors at the issuing body's discretion for best value.
