UNSPSC 50486850: Purslane purees

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

UNSPSC 50486850 Purslane purees is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of purslane purees or related products. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad consumable food and kitchen supplies serving institutional food service operations—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state hospitals. The actual buying pattern encompasses prepared foods, proteins, frozen and canned vegetables, dairy, bread, seasonings, condiments, and disposable food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and straws. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ), school districts and county school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement offices purchasing on behalf of multiple agencies. The mix reflects both large centralized state procurement (Texas HHS for statewide living centers and hospitals) and distributed local school nutrition programs serving individual districts across multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables supplying state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, including HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior historical value of $1.5 million, and HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for Lufkin. Georgia school districts have issued multiple food bids: Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) covering hundreds of fresh, frozen, and dry goods; Burke County Public Schools (posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026) seeking sealed bids for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products. Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case. The Illinois State Comptroller solicited weekly food orders for institutional facilities. The code shows no recent relevant activity matching purslane purees specifically.
