UNSPSC 50485541: Aji montan purees

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

UNSPSC 50485541 Aji montan purees is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source data. The recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services centers soliciting broad categories of food products—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and supplemental foods for institutional food service—rather than aji montan purees or any comparable specialty puree products. The code's nominal scope (a specific Andean chili puree) diverges substantially from the actual goods being procured, which emphasize high-volume commodity foods, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and fresh produce meeting USDA and FDA standards for public institutional feeding.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related food procurement codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home, Quincy). Recent solicitations from June 2026 include the State of Illinois' FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), with historical contract values ranging from approximately $52,836 for Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato purchases to $9 million annually for Douglas County School System food supply and distribution. The geographic concentration of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois, with school districts representing the largest segment of issuing bodies and recurring volume buyers across multiple fiscal years.
