UNSPSC 50496401: Organic green globe turnip purees

The variety of organic turnips known as organic green globe turnips which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496401 Organic green globe turnip purees (Commodity) covers fresh and processed vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent activity under this specific code is minimal and the vast majority of solicitations tagged to it involve broader food-service consumption across meals programs, canteens, and cafeteria operations rather than turnip purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products under this family include state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers, county and municipal boards serving school nutrition programs and senior services, state departments of corrections, and specialized state institutions—a mix reflecting the institutional nature of food procurement across social service, educational, and custody settings. The kinds of work actually being solicited span prepared and fresh proteins, frozen entrees, dairy and refrigerated items, canned vegetables, grains, condiments, disposable food-service supplies, and kitchen equipment, typically bundled in large multi-line-item bids rather than as single-commodity buys.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with response dates in June, July, and October 2026 and estimated annual values reaching $1.5 million per facility. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools have solicited comprehensive grocery bids for multi-school nutrition programs with hundreds of line items and response windows in May and June 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 for senior services. Illinois and additional Georgia state agencies have also posted food procurement solicitations in the same timeframe. Most opportunities specify FOB Destination pricing with delivery within 7 to 72 hours, Buy American compliance where applicable, HACCP plan requirements, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million.
