UNSPSC 50491916: Organic formanova beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50491916 Organic formanova beet purees is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity describes fresh and shelf-stable produce and food products sourced for institutional foodservice operations — canteens, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The code sees actual use in multi-line-item food procurement solicitations that bundle produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumable supplies together rather than as single-product buys; the "organic formanova beet purees" nominal scope does not align with the breadth of recent opportunities tagged under the code. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services), state correctional and corrections-related procurement offices (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts, Oregon Department of Corrections), county systems (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, both Georgia), and specialized state agencies (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). Texas agencies and Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which covers 22 line items spanning prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item and F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026), including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables with 72-hour delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply warehouse locations across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, with USDA grade requirements and FOB Destination pricing). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The largest identified opportunity was Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumable IFB with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years.
