UNSPSC 50487003: Oca purees

Variety of tubers known as oca which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50487003 Oca purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes oca fruit puree products, but the recent opportunities tagged to it consistently solicit broad consumable food and food service supplies — prepared foods, canned goods, fresh produce, dairy products, condiments, and kitchen supplies — rather than oca puree specifically. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county social services and school districts (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools; Burke County Public Schools; Oregon Department of Corrections), and state institutions. The work ranges from facility food service procurement for state supported living centers and correctional facilities to school nutrition programs serving multiple campuses and counties.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026) covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four schools; and Burke County Public Schools' grocery procurement (bids due June 5, 2026) covering nearly 400 line items for five schools in the 2026-2027 school year. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically for oca puree products; the tagging appears to reflect a mismatch between the commodity code's narrow scope and the broader food procurement activities actually being solicited.
