UNSPSC 50486856: Taro purees

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

UNSPSC 50486856 Taro purees, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code describe broader food service procurement for institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state facilities—encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and general grocery items—rather than taro purees specifically. The nominal scope of the code does not align with the solicitations actually being issued. State and local government procurement under food-service codes at the Commodity tier typically targets narrow product lines; the records here show that issuing bodies are sourcing these items as line items within much larger, multi-category grocery or institutional food contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements.

The issuing bodies spanning recent opportunities include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District), and the Georgia State procurement office. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026 for El Paso State Supported Living Center), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The code shows no current procurement activity specifically targeting taro purees; firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local buyers have standardized taro puree sourcing or whether demand remains dormant at the Commodity code level.
