UNSPSC 50486908: Oregon sugar pod pea purees

The variety of sugar peas known as oregon sugar pod peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486908 Oregon sugar pod pea purees, a Commodity code, describes a narrow food product line that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations — primarily state health and human services facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. The code name itself reflects a specific processed vegetable product, yet the recent solicitation activity under this code does not show procurement of Oregon sugar pod pea purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve broad consumable food and kitchen product purchases spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items, food service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, trays, straws, foil), and related kitchen consumables. The issuing bodies are state health agencies, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and state correctional departments, with recurring procurement from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office. These are multi-year contracts with significant line-item counts (ranging from 20 to 400 items) and delivery commitments that run fiscal or calendar years.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (Gwinnett County and school district bids), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated-goods preference); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food service covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act requirements). Contracts typically demand firm, fixed pricing with delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, three verifiable references, and compliance with E-Verify, debarment certification, general liability insurance (commonly $500,000 per occurrence minimum), and USDA/FDA standards. The code shows active procurement across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, though the actual products being bought diverge significantly from the narrow product name — an indicator that state and local procurement databases may tag broader food service categories to specific commodity codes for taxonomic purposes rather than strict product matching.
