UNSPSC 50491905: Organic bonel beet purees

The variety of organic beets known as organic bonel beets which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491905 Organic bonel beet purees, a Commodity code, is narrowly represented in state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to organic beet puree products, but recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad food-service procurement for institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state facility food supply — encompassing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumables rather than beet purees specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). The work involves food procurement under IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types with firm fixed pricing, phased delivery schedules, and compliance with Buy American Act and USDA nutritional standards; contracts typically run one fiscal or academic year with renewal options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (six school district procurements), Texas (two state agency procurements), Oregon (two state corrections procurements), and scattered activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and contract renewal through August 31, 2028; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases), due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase of $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and HACCP plans. The code shows substantial activity volume but reflects a mismatch between the nominal commodity (organic beet purees) and the actual procurement scope (broad institutional food service) — vendors pursuing this code should expect multi-category food-service contracts at the line-item level rather than specialty puree products.
