UNSPSC 50486871: Sicua purees

Vegetable variety known as sicua which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486871 Sicua purees (Commodity) sees limited recent state and local procurement activity; the code does not align with the actual scope of work being solicited under recent opportunities. The opportunities posted against this code over the past six months reflect broad food service and school nutrition procurement—weekly food supply orders, cafeteria meal components, fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, proteins, and consumable items—but sicua purees (a South American root vegetable purée) do not appear as line items or scope elements in any of the representative solicitations. State and local purchasing offices issue ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs for comprehensive food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items and multiple product categories; these opportunities are driven primarily by school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies supplying institutional meal programs.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code taxonomy, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and the State of Illinois also post regularly. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia and Texas, with significant activity in Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY26-27 food bid (IFB, June 15, 2026 closing) spanning fresh produce, meat, dairy, and furnishings; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, July 13, 2026 closing, $1.5 million historical value) for state supported living centers; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, June 19, 2026 closing, 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from prior purchase). Bidders should treat this code as a proxy for institutional food service distribution broadly rather than as a specific commodity category; no current market activity in sicua purees was identified in the recent-opportunities dataset.
