UNSPSC 50486846: Moqua purees

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

UNSPSC 50486846 Moqua purees is a Commodity code that encompasses the purchase of prepared fruit and vegetable purees for use in state and local institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show moqua purees appearing alongside broader consumables categories rather than as a standalone line item. State and local governments buy moqua purees and similar specialty food ingredients as part of comprehensive food service procurements that supply correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, and other public institutions. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county school nutrition programs, and county social services departments—a diverse mix of agencies managing food service for vulnerable and dependent populations. The work involves ordering shelf-stable and prepared food products in case quantities with firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and adherence to state-specific preferences and employment verification requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas showing the highest volume through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables including prepared foods and food service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive food procurement across five schools in Georgia (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Gwinnett County in Georgia have also solicited food products through IFB and informal written quote processes. Most opportunities specify delivery within seven to thirty days of order receipt, require three to five years of verifiable references, mandate insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and impose federal compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, E-Verify, debarment certifications, and HACCP plans where applicable. Contract terms typically run twelve months with optional renewals available at the issuing agency's discretion.
