UNSPSC 50486848: Palm hearts purees

The type of vegetable known as palm hearts which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486848 Palm hearts purees is a Commodity code that in practice has generated no recent state or local procurement activity directly aligned with its stated scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon procurement systems predominantly solicit shelf-stable and prepared food products — canned tomatoes, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies — for institutional food service operations at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and health agencies. Palm hearts purees, a specialized fresh or preserved fruit product, do not appear in any of the representative recent solicitations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools), and independent school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools). These jurisdictions procure food through standard IFB, RFQ, and informal written quote (IWQ) processes, typically on annual or multi-year cycles with renewal options.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas dominating through recurring solicitations from HHSC for state supported living centers and the Comptroller's office on behalf of TDCJ. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The code shows little actionable recent procurement relevance to palm hearts purees specifically; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual food procurement activity suggests a tagging error or that this commodity occupies a negligible share of institutional food service demand.
