UNSPSC 50486115: Iceplant spinach purees

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

UNSPSC 50486115 Iceplant spinach purees is a Commodity code that identifies a narrow product line, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect actual procurement of spinach purees. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments buying broad consumable food baskets — shelf-stable staples (canned vegetables, proteins, rice, pasta, peanut butter, jelly), fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, prepared foods, and food service supplies — for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county commissioners, school districts, and county boards of education across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (iceplant spinach purees specifically) and what is actually being solicited (diverse institutional food baskets) suggests either broad tagging practice within procurement systems or limited relevance of this Commodity code to current state and local activity.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state-supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026), with estimated annual line-item quantities of 1 to 24 cases and prior-period historical spend around $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior-purchase reference price of $13.75 per case. Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County posted food procurement RFQs and IFBs (Ben Hill County Schools IFB due June 15, 2026, covering hundreds of line items; Burke County Public Schools due June 5, 2026; Gwinnett County IWQ due October 19, 2026) emphasizing USDA compliance, Buy American requirements, and delivery to multiple school and senior service sites. The State of Illinois and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited institutional food supply contracts. No recent solicitations identified spinach purees as a line item or distinct focus, indicating this Commodity code sees little relevant current activity at the state and local level.
