UNSPSC 50491819: Organic fava or broad bean purees

The variety of organic beans known as organic fava beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491819 Organic fava or broad bean purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers prepared and shelf-stable food products purchased by state and local institutions for mass feeding operations, canteens, and food service supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not consistently reflect organic fava or broad bean purees as the primary or stated procurement need; instead, they span cafeteria food products, consumables for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and department of corrections supply chains encompassing proteins, dairy, vegetables, grains, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions, state correctional agencies, county boards of commissioners, county schools, and independent school districts. When state agencies post under this code, they typically serve multiple facilities statewide—for example, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures for state supported living centers and state hospitals across regions, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sources for warehouse distribution to multiple geographic zones.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with recent postings from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026; IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026; and IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide, due March 19, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (IWQ 140229 for food items, due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (sealed bid due June 5, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes procurement, due June 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois (FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order, due June 26, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with response due May 4, 2026. Bidders should note that recent opportunities under this code emphasize shelf-stable and prepared foods, USDA compliance, delivery to multiple sites within tight windows (often 30 to 72 hours), FOB Destination pricing with freight included, and compliance with Buy American Act provisions in school nutrition contexts.
