UNSPSC 50491920: Organic pronto beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50491920 Organic pronto beet purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses shelf-stable prepared vegetable products and broader consumable food items for institutional food service operations. The code appears underutilized in current procurement activity—recent opportunities tagged to this code do not consistently feature organic beet purees or beet-based products as a primary solicitation focus. Instead, state and local governments are buying generic preparedi and fresh food products, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and food service supplies through institutional food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Community Services), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Gwinnett County Schools in Georgia), and specialized state facilities. The work spans standard food-service contracting—IFBs and IWQs requesting competitive bids on line-item food products with firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery, response windows of 7 to 30 days, and typical compliance requirements (debarment certification, E-Verify, liability insurance, HACCP plans where applicable).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. 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), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with 5% Oregon preference (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case from the prior purchase); and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid encompassing produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). Contract values range from small local school purchases to the Texas HHSC's estimated $1.5 million annual spend for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and the $4.5 million potential three-year value for the statewide supplemental food procurement. The code shows limited evidence of organic or specialty-item demand in current state and local procurement; activity centers on standard commodity food products and food service supplies for high-volume institutional operations with tight delivery windows and compliance-heavy vendor qualification requirements.
