UNSPSC 50486872: Qawinca purees

Vegetable variety known as qawinca which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486872 Qawinca purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — the code sees minimal direct activity, with no recent solicitations explicitly naming qawinca purees or related pureed specialty products. The recent-opportunities block shows that state and local jurisdictions buy consumable foods broadly under related codes, but qawinca purees specifically do not appear in the nine documented solicitations from Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois posted between May and October 2026. The foodservice categories actually being solicited include prepared foods, canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies — staple institutional nutrition items serving state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school districts. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and school districts (Burke County Public Schools in Georgia).

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation HHS0017449 (IFB for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million); Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation S2910000017145 (IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, prior purchase at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB for food products across multiple categories, due June 15, 2026, serving four school locations). The code shows little current market activity specific to qawinca purees; vendors targeting this commodity should assess whether related specialty pureed-fruit or processed-produce opportunities exist under adjacent UNSPSC classifications or whether demand for the product warrants direct outreach to state institutional nutrition programs.
