UNSPSC 50496853: Organic soybean purees

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

UNSPSC 50496853 Organic soybean purees (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable and prepared food products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, including dining facilities, canteens, and cafeteria programs. The code's actual scope, however, shows minimal direct procurement of the product named in the code — organic soybean purees. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly cover broad consumable food and kitchen supply categories spanning fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, canned vegetables, and food service disposables for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, individual school districts, county boards of education, and county social services departments. The code captures a diverse mix of food service procurement across institutional settings rather than specialty plant-based products.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered activity in Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and food products for state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with response dates in August 2026 and October 2026 and estimated annual values reaching $1.5 million per prior period. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Georgia sourcing includes Gwinnett County's IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, and two school district IFBs—Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (due June 15, 2026)—each spanning 300 to 400 line items of fresh, frozen, and prepared foods for multi-school nutrition programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026.
