UNSPSC 50487004: Olluco purees

Variety of tuber known as olluco which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50487004 Olluco purees is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for olluco purees or close variants; the code does not match the actual work being bought under recent state and local postings. The most representative recent solicitations under related food procurement codes involve shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional dining, including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies for state agencies, school districts, and corrections facilities. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county purchasing offices, independent school districts, and state nutrition programs. The scope of work typically spans hundreds of line items with firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, compliance with USDA grade standards and federal food regulations, and multi-year contract terms with optional renewals. Vendors must provide references, liability insurance, debarment certifications, E-Verify compliance, and detailed product specifications including nutritional labeling and country of origin.

The geographic spread of recent food procurement activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with additional recent activity in Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to serve state supported living centers and state hospitals, with estimated contract values ranging up to $4.5 million over three years; representative postings include HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026). Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools have posted comprehensive food bids covering nearly 400 line items each for the 2026-2027 school year, with responses due in May and June 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections posted IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior award reference at $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The code itself shows no recent, directly relevant solicitation activity; business development professionals should verify whether olluco purees align with their service offerings before allocating pursuit resources to this code.
