UNSPSC 50493900: Organic green pea purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic green peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493900 Organic green pea purees, a Class code, nominally covers processed vegetable products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with that narrow scope. The most recent opportunities solicited under 50493900 span a much broader range of food service consumables—fresh and frozen produce, canned vegetables and proteins, dairy products, bread, seasonings, condiments, and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and serving equipment. State and local governments tag these general food procurement activities under this code when acquiring bulk consumables for institutional food service operations, including state-supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and other state departments and local jurisdictions operating high-volume foodservice operations. These entities solicit through IFB, RFQ, and ITB notices and typically require vendors to meet USDA standards, maintain liability insurance, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, and deliver within tight timeframes (often seven days of order or within 72 hours).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple Health and Human Services Commission solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as the most frequent repeat buyer, issuing at least four recent IFBs for state-supported living centers and state hospitals with estimated annual values reaching $1.5 million or higher. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026, for 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination pricing); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services (due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The code shows steady but not concentrated activity; geographic spread is regional rather than national, with Texas and Georgia dominating the recent record.
