UNSPSC 50486856: Taro purees

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

UNSPSC 50486856 Taro purees, a Commodity code, sees sporadic recent state and local procurement activity, with the nominations shown appearing predominantly in food-service contexts—primarily institutional foodservice for state health and correctional facilities, school districts, and county social services. The recent opportunities span multi-line-item consumables bids where taro purees would fall within broader "prepared foods" or "frozen specialty foods" categories rather than standing alone as a line item. State institutions solicit these products as components of larger food and consumable procurements serving state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies are state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and county purchasing offices.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables through mid-2026, including IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, bids due July 13, 2026) and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), both seeking 20–22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery within seven days of order and F.O.B. Destination pricing. Georgia school districts and county services issued food bids through mid-2026: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought 35 line items of shelf-stable foods and proteins via IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools solicited comprehensive food procurement across produce, meat, dairy, condiments, and supplies via IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a focused IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026). The code shows no specific recent taro-puree line items in the opportunities provided; procurement under this code appears nominal or embedded within broader prepared-foods categories rather than solicited as a standalone commodity.
