UNSPSC 50487006: Chinese broccoli purees

The variety of broccoli known as chinese broccoli which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50487006 Chinese broccoli purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single processed vegetable product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct relevance to that scope. The most recent activity includes bids for broad consumable food procurement—shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, grains, condiments, and food service supplies—issued by state health and human services agencies, county nutrition departments, and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental products to supply state supported living centers, with line items spanning prepared foods, sauces, and canned vegetables alongside food service supplies such as containers and napkins. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables. School districts in Georgia and Texas also solicit comprehensive food procurement for cafeteria and nutrition programs with hundreds of line items per opportunity. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments, county commissioners' offices, and school nutrition programs; no single repeat buyer dominates the recent opportunity pool beyond the Texas HHSC, which has posted multiple consumables solicitations since May 2026.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with additional postings from Oregon (canned tomatoes and potatoes) and Illinois (weekly food orders). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) due June 19, 2026, awarded to the previous supplier at $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories due June 15, 2026. The code shows little focused activity specific to Chinese broccoli purees; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the broad consumable-food procurement actually being solicited suggests the code is either being applied overly broadly or the opportunities are incorrectly tagged.
