UNSPSC 50491921: Organic regalia beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50491921 Organic regalia beet purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual activity being solicited under it in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly involve institutional food procurement—shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies—for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, schools, and county programs. The code's nominal scope (organic beet purees) bears no relationship to the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions and departments of corrections, county school districts and county social services departments, and city and county nutrition programs; Texas agencies and Georgia school districts appear repeatedly. The work is straightforward: responding to IFBs, RFQs, and informal written quotes for multi-line-item food and consumables contracts, typically with F.O.B. Destination pricing, delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, and compliance with USDA grades, federal food standards, E-Verify, and debarment certifications.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. In Texas, the Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables supplying state supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0016792V2 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations, with response due May 4, 2026. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (IWQ 140229, quotes due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each posted school nutrition food bids (June 15, 2026, and June 5, 2026, respectively, for their 2026-2027 school year). In Oregon, the Department of Corrections requested bids for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a 5% Oregon-fabricated preference (bid due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case in the previous purchase). Illinois posted FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food orders (27497DVAQUINCB52821, bids due June 26, 2026). Contract values range from several thousand dollars for school and county programs to $1.5 million (prior-year historical spend for Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center) and up to $4.5 million potential over three years for statewide food procurement.
