UNSPSC 50484102: Bay leaf purees

The variety of herbs known as bay leaf which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484102 Bay leaf purees, Commodity, is a narrowly specialized code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity documented in recent opportunities. The source contains no solicitations explicitly requesting bay leaf purees or purees of any culinary spice. The recent opportunities under this code span large-scale food service procurement for state and local institutions—including state supported living centers, corrections facilities, school districts, and county senior services—but focus on shelf-stable staples (canned vegetables, proteins, grains, condiments, and prepared foods), fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and food service supplies rather than specialty ingredient purees. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia jurisdictions (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Schools, and the State of Georgia), Illinois (state procurement), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). No issuing body appears more than twice in the recent-opportunity block, and no solicitation names bay leaf purees or any similar ingredient formulation.

The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with the heaviest activity in Texas state institutions and Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which requested 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with no mention of spice purees; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (response due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products across four locations (response due June 15, 2026). The code shows little relevant procurement activity in the recent-opportunities block and appears to be a misclassification or an exceptionally quiet commodity category relative to state and local demand.
