UNSPSC 50486859: Tepeguaje purees

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

UNSPSC 50486859 Tepeguaje purees, a Commodity code, describes fruit and vegetable purees and processed produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code to tag consumable food products for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations, though the opportunities in the dataset reveal little activity specifically for tepeguaje purees in isolation. Instead, tepeguaje appears as one line item within larger institutional food procurement solicitations where it is bundled with fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products, sauces, condiments, and related food service supplies. The issuing bodies are state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state-level purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple state agencies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is a repeat buyer under related food-service codes, with multiple solicitations for state supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities) and statewide state hospitals and supported living centers. Georgia school districts, including Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools, and Gwinnett County are also active in this commodity family for institutional nutrition programs.

Activity under this code concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving statewide facilities. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million (bid due March 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bid due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products across four school locations (bid due June 15, 2026); Burke County Public Schools sealed bid for comprehensive grocery procurement across five schools (bid due June 5, 2026); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's most recent solicitation, IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and prepared foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, was due October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery windows and F.O.B. Destination pricing. School district and state institutional solicitations typically require firm pricing for an initial 30- to 90-day period with subsequent adjustments permitted quarterly or semi-annually based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index verification; all buyers enforce Buy American requirements, HACCP plans, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
