UNSPSC 50486905: Early onward pea purees

The variety of sugar peas known as early onward peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486905 Early onward pea purees, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen and shelf-stable legume and vegetable purees and prepared items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including canteen operations, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a broader pattern of food-service procurement spanning prepared proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables, and consumable supplies rather than pea purees in isolation. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and municipal departments of community services. Texas appears as a repeat buyer through the Health and Human Services Commission, which has posted multiple food-and-consumable bids for state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide; Georgia school districts and the state-level procurements from Oregon and Illinois round out recent activity.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumables including prepared foods and food-service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting an informal written quote request on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026, bids due June 19, 2026) with a prior-purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requesting sealed bids for comprehensive food procurement under IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026, with bids due June 15, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional recent procurements in Illinois. School nutrition programs and state institutional food service dominate the solicitation flow, with Buy American Act compliance and USDA grade standards appearing consistently across awards.
