UNSPSC 50486871: Sicua purees

Vegetable variety known as sicua which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486871 Sicua purees, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government procurement of shelf-stable prepared foods and food-service consumables for institutional dining, canteens, and food banks — a scope much broader than the code's narrow name suggests. The recent opportunities show that issuing bodies under this code span Texas state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), Oregon state corrections and purchase authorities, Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Illinois state procurement. Food items solicited include prepared proteins, canned vegetables, condiments, sauces, dairy products, grains, frozen specialty entrees, and food-service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, foil, hairnets); most solicitations request dozens to hundreds of line items with annual or quarterly fulfillment cycles and F.O.B. Destination delivery to institutional distribution centers or school campuses.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria foods across five geographic distribution areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) both ran comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering multiple schools and nearly 400 line items each. Contracts typically run fiscal-year or school-year cycles with renewal options; prior awards cite historical annual values ranging from $1.5 million (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center) to estimated values up to $4.5 million over three years (HHSC supplemental food statewide). Delivery timelines are tight — most require fulfillment within seven days of order or within 72 hours for emergency stock replenishment.
