UNSPSC 50481601: Chinese chive purees

The variety of chives known as chinese chives which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481601 Chinese chive purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code name does not align with the work actually being solicited under it; recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code are soliciting shelf-stable packaged foods, canned vegetables, fresh produce, meat and dairy products, and food service supplies for institutional food service operations — not chinese chive purees specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly institutional food service buyers: state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and hospitals, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county social services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears repeatedly as a buyer, with multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School districts in Georgia and Texas also regularly solicit comprehensive food and supply contracts to support cafeteria operations across multiple school locations.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs between May and August 2026 for food and consumable products at the Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million annually and potential three-year maximums of $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with prior unit pricing at $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed food bids in May 2026 (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026); Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia sought comprehensive grocery procurement across nearly 400 line items in May 2026 (due June 5, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods in October 2026 (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). No activity specific to chinese chive purees appears in any recent solicitation, and the code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement volume.
