UNSPSC 50486853: Soybeans purees

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

UNSPSC 50486853 Soybeans purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow, single-product line within food procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct solicitation for soybean purees themselves. Instead, the code appears in a procurement ecosystem dominated by broad food service contracts where soybean purees would be one potential line item among hundreds. State and local governments procuring under or near this code—school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state institutions—buy integrated food service packages that may include plant-based protein products, but no recent opportunity in the block explicitly names soybean purees as a primary or standalone procurement target. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Burke County in Missouri, Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Fairfax County and Savannah-Chatham in other states), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home). These jurisdictions typically solicit food procurement through IFB, RFP, or RFQ mechanisms with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP certification, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (HHSC statewide procurement for supported living centers and state hospitals with estimated contract values reaching $4.5 million), Georgia (multiple school districts including Ben Hill, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home system), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior period spend of $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, spanning 45 elementary and middle schools plus seven distribution kitchens), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and HACCP plans). The code shows activity primarily as a component within much larger food service contracts rather than as a standalone procurement category; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor broader school nutrition, institutional food service, and state hospital procurement channels where soybean purees might be specified as an alternative protein option within multi-category food supply agreements.
