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 is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within processed vegetable offerings, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code is sparse. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting pea purees or products directly matching this commodity's scope. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects broader food procurement patterns: state departments, county health and human services agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities source processed vegetables, canned goods, and prepared food items through larger consolidated food supply contracts that aggregate dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple product categories. When pea purees or similar processed vegetable products appear, they are typically embedded within all-foods RFPs rather than solicited as standalone commodity lines. The work itself involves supplying institutional food service operations — state hospitals, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and supported living centers — where purees and similar processed vegetables serve as ingredients for meal preparation and specialized dietary applications.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County in Georgia and Missouri), followed by state health and human services commissions in Texas, state departments of corrections in Oregon, and state institutional facilities in Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections each appear multiple times in the recent opportunities. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with significant secondary activity in Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which solicits food and consumables including processed items under NIGP categories covering food service supplies; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026), which procures hundreds of food line items for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and multiple school district food RFPs in Georgia and Missouri aggregating fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products for annual nutrition programs. Pea purees as a discrete commodity are not prominently featured in any single recent opportunity identified in the source, suggesting this code either captures minimal state and local volume or is applied inconsistently when such products are purchased as components of larger food service contracts.
