UNSPSC 50484112: Lemon gras purees

The variety of herbs known as lemon grass which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484112 Lemon gras purees, a Commodity code, shows little activity relevant to its nominal scope in recent state and local procurement. The code's name describes a specialized culinary ingredient, yet none of the fifteen opportunities posted between January 26 and June 26, 2026, solicited lemon grass purees or any closely related item. Instead, recent opportunities under this code classification span broad food service procurement categories—canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, proteins, condiments, and prepared foods—reflecting school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and veteran's homes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Muscogee County School District in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state correctional or health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). This suggests a significant tagging or classification mismatch between the UNSPSC code and the actual goods being procured.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical spend of $1.5 million and a contract value range up to $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 (posted March 23, 2026; due April 6, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026; due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 distribution to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District grocery bids (posted March 31, 2026; due April 29, 2026) for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products serving nearly 19,000 students. School districts typically require competitive sealed bids with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance for domestically sourced components, HACCP plan implementation, and insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million general liability. The mismatch between the code name and actual purchasing activity warrants review of your UNSPSC classification feed; opportunities here belong to broader food service commodity codes rather than specialized ingredient categories.
