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

UNSPSC 50486845 Moo purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of food procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad consumable food purchases for institutional food service operations—including fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies—rather than the narrowly specialized product category its name suggests. State and local buyers posting under this code are predominantly institutional food service operators: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state agencies (Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These jurisdictions use competitive sealed bidding (IFB, IWQ) to source products for cafeterias, canteens, dining facilities, and food service distribution networks, with contracts typically running July through June to align with fiscal or academic years. Vendors responding to opportunities under this code must hold institutional food service and warehousing capability, maintain HACCP certifications where required, comply with USDA grading standards and FDA labeling requirements, and manage multi-location delivery logistics.

Recent activity clusters in Texas (multiple HHS and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and TDCJ are repeat issuers, with HHS posting at least three solicitations between May and October 2026 (IFB HHS0016792V2 in May with a potential value of $4.5 million over three years; IFB HHS0017449 in June referencing a prior-period value of $1.5 million; IFB HHS0018082 in October due October 23, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomatoes bid (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST for approximately 7,616 cases with a prior February 2026 award at $13.75 per case). Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools, due June 5, 2026) and Gwinnett County (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.) represent the high-frequency market for school nutrition and county services food procurement. Delivery terms across all issuers emphasize FOB Destination with freight prepaid, response times of 3–7 days post-order, and firm pricing for 30 days or longer post-award, with price escalation typically tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices.
