UNSPSC 50487008: Falstaff brussel sprout purees

The variety of brussel sprouts known as falstaff brussel sprouts which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50487008 Falstaff brussel sprout purees is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for brussel sprout purees—branded or otherwise. Instead, the posted opportunities span broad fresh and processed food procurement for K–12 school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans homes across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. The work being solicited includes canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce (apples, bananas, peppers, carrots, leafy greens, eggs), proteins, dairy, condiments, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies—the staple categories of institutional food service. This code appears to capture a hyper-specific commodity (a particular brand of pureed vegetable) that state and local governments do not actively procure under current market conditions, or the code has been misapplied to a broader food-procurement category in the source data.

State and local food procurement activity concentrates in school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County School System) and facility-based institutional food service (Texas HHSC state supported living centers and hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Homes). Recent solicitations are IFBs and RFPs with response dates clustered from February through June 2026, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and include high-volume, line-item-based buys (200 to 900+ line items per RFP) at estimated annual values ranging from under $1 million to $9 million. Evaluation criteria emphasize lowest responsive bid, product specification compliance, demonstrated vendor experience, and delivery capability, with awards often made to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. No evidence supports recent procurement of Falstaff brussel sprout purees or similar branded specialty vegetable products under this code.
