UNSPSC 50486107: Medania spinach purees

The variety of spinach known as medania spinach which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486107 Medania spinach purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its exact classification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting medania spinach purees or spinach purees of any kind. Instead, state and local purchasing under this nominal code appears to reflect broader food and consumables procurement at institutional food-service operations — state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services — where shelf-stable and prepared foods, proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and related food-service supplies dominate actual purchasing behavior. The issuing bodies sourcing under this code include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state comptroller procurement offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and the State of Illinois. No repeat buyers of medania spinach purees specifically appear in the recent opportunities; instead, the same institutional food-service entities recur in bids for broad consumables baskets that may or may not include any spinach products at all.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 posted October 16, 2026, for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response deadline October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), and Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5, 2026, nearly 400 line items across food categories). The code shows little active procurement specifically for medania spinach purees; the mismatch between the code's nominal product and the actual consumables-based food-service purchasing visible in these opportunities suggests the code may be misapplied to broader food-service contracts or that medania spinach purees represent a negligible line item within institutional food procurement rather than a standalone market segment.
