UNSPSC 50486851: Raddichios purees

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

UNSPSC 50486851 Raddichios purees (Commodity) represents a narrow food ingredient category that state and local governments procure almost entirely as part of broader food service solicitations rather than as a standalone line item. Recent state and local opportunities show this code tagged to general food supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state facilities, where radicchio purees appear—if at all—among hundreds of other produce, protein, dairy, and prepared-food items. The code sees solicitation activity from state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), and special-purpose entities managing inmate and patient food service. No recent opportunity names radicchio puree explicitly; the code appears to be a taxonomy tag applied retrospectively to bundled food RFPs and IFBs that do not itemize specialty vegetable purees as discrete line items.

The geographic concentration spans Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Illinois Veterans Home quarterly procurement), Georgia (multiple school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned-goods buys). Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB terms with firm fixed unit pricing and historical value of $1.5 million; the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for fresh, frozen, and prepared items across four schools under IFB #26271; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens requiring minimum three years vendor experience and Buy American compliance. The code shows no meaningful standalone procurement activity and appears mismatched to actual state and local buying patterns for specialty vegetable purees.
