UNSPSC 50485001: Chinese lantern purees

The variety of nightshades known as chinese lantern which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485001 Chinese lantern purees is a Commodity code that maps nominally to a specialized fruit preserve product, but recent state and local solicitations show virtually no procurement activity aligned with this code's scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—an Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato IFB posted June 5, 2026 with quotes due June 19, 2026—addresses a staple preserved-vegetable product, not Chinese lantern purees. A second Oregon solicitation for potatoes (posted July 17, 2026, due July 27, 2026) similarly lacks relevance to the code's stated product line. The remaining opportunities in the source block—Texas HHS consumables for state supported living centers, Gwinnett County food items, Illinois quarterly food orders, Ben Hill County Schools nutrition procurement, and Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products—span fresh, frozen, and canned staples (proteins, dairy, condiments, canned vegetables, grains) but do not mention Chinese lantern purees by product name or specification. The code shows minimal recent activity of decision relevance to vendors targeting this specific commodity.

State and local buyers using this code tier appear to be primarily state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, and school districts across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. However, the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity in the source block suggests either tag-error on the procurement side or that this commodity code sees sufficiently low volume in state and local markets that recent opportunities do not cluster under it reliably. No representative recent opportunities for Chinese lantern purees themselves are present in the source material. A business development professional should verify whether buyers in their target jurisdictions actually use this code for relevant solicitations before committing resources to market research or bid pursuit under it.
