UNSPSC 50625206 Non GMO Virginia peanut purees (Commodity) addresses a narrow product line that state and local governments source primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state hospitals, supported living centers, and corrections facilities. Recent opportunities show that this code captures peanut butter and related peanut products as line items within larger consumables food procurements rather than standalone peanut-puree–only bids. The work itself involves supplying shelf-stable protein products that meet USDA or FDA standards, often with specifications for sodium content, shelf life, packaging size, and compliance with federal nutrition guidelines (Child Nutrition meal patterns, Buy American provisions, HACCP protocols). Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois state operations), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools).
