UNSPSC 50485541: Aji montan purees

The variety of chilis known as aji montana which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485541 Aji montan purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity that state and local governments are conducting under this classification. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code are buying bulk shelf-stable food products — canned tomatoes, prepared and frozen meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and fresh produce — for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services, rather than specialty aji montan products.

Institutional food service agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and statewide hospitals), state departments of corrections (Oregon), school districts (Ben Hill County and Burke County in Georgia; Ben Hill Schools in Illinois context), and county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia). Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas showing the heaviest volume of posted solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompassed food service and canteen products with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition products across multiple categories and locations (due June 15, 2026). The code shows robust recent activity, though the taxonomic mismatch between the stated commodity name and actual procurement scope suggests a classification anomaly rather than true aji montan procurement volume.
