UNSPSC 50486115: Iceplant spinach purees

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

UNSPSC 50486115 Iceplant spinach purees, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialized frozen and processed vegetable products for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity matching the nominal product category. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food procurement across multiple product lines—canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies—suggesting either a data-classification mismatch or that iceplant spinach purees represent a minor line item within much larger vegetable and food service contracts. School districts and state health and human services agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), and Illinois state facilities. A few RFPs and RFQs from larger integrated food service procurements (such as Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 and Douglas County's comprehensive food supply contracts) indicate that specialized ingredients like spinach purees may be bid as components of line-item catalogs rather than standalone opportunities.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 and HHS0016792 (both IFBs for food and consumables at state supported living centers, with the latter valued at up to $4.5 million over three years and spanning 210 line items), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-vegetable and produce ITBs (S2910000015837 for canned tomatoes and S2910000016089 for tomato paste, both with 30-day delivery windows and Oregon-vendor preferences), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB 26271 (seeking hundreds of line items including fresh and frozen produce for four school locations under the Buy American Act). The State of Illinois issued RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821 in June 2026 for quarterly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home, due June 26, 2026. Across these solicitations, pricing is typically firm and fixed for contract periods (often July–June cycles aligned to school and facility budgets), with deliveries required weekly or on demand to multiple locations, USDA compliance and food safety standards mandatory, and contract values ranging from under $100,000 for individual canned-product purchases to $9 million annually for full food service distribution at large school districts.
