UNSPSC 50486873: Cayot purees

Fruit used as a vegetable with delicate flavor which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486873 Cayot purees, a Commodity code, covers prepared and processed fruit products that state and local governments buy primarily for institutional food service operations — canteens, school nutrition programs, kitchen facilities at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and social-services agencies. The recent opportunities show that the code encompasses a narrow product family but sits within much larger food-procurement vehicles. In practice, state and local buyers rarely solicit cayot purees as a standalone item; instead, they appear as line items within broad consumables or prepared-foods bids that also include proteins, frozen specialty items, canned vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies. The issuing bodies are a mix of state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Illinois state agencies), county social-service and senior-services programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). State departments and state-supported-living-center procurement dominate the recent activity; school nutrition programs and county senior-services operations are secondary buyers.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with sporadic Illinois postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which encompasses sauces and prepared foods alongside food-service supplies across 22 line items; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (response due October 19, 2026), emphasizing brand-specific or approved-equivalent canned proteins, sauces, and condiments; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition products (response due June 15, 2026), spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, seasonings, and condiments for delivery to four school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 bid for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, previous award $13.75 per case) and the Texas Comptroller's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations (approximately 382 line items including proteins, condiments, and canned goods) illustrate the integrated-procurement model where cayot purees or equivalent sauces and prepared items are priced alongside staple proteins and frozen foods. Most solicitations specify firm fixed pricing on an F.O.B. Destination basis, delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, and compliance with USDA or FDA standards; school districts impose Buy American Act requirements and HACCP plan mandates.
