UNSPSC 50486820: Dandelion greens purees

The type of vegetable known as dandelion greens which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486820 Dandelion greens purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments actually solicit under a broader food-procurement framework, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct purchases of dandelion greens purees specifically. Instead, state and local bodies—primarily health and human services agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities—are soliciting consumable food products in bulk for cafeterias, state-supported living centers, and institutional food service operations. The actual purchasing activity centers on shelf-stable and prepared foods (proteins, frozen specialty entrees, canned vegetables, dairy products, condiments, grains), fresh and frozen produce, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, foil, hairnets) procured via IFB and IWQ notices. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia). The mix skews toward institutional bulk procurement for food service operations rather than specialty or processed vegetable products.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with no identifiable purchases of dandelion greens purees in the available records. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared foods and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the Texas HHS IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for a comprehensive food bid spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, seasonings, bread, and ice cream across four school locations. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dandelion greens purees as a standalone commodity line item, and no vendor would pursue this code expecting to find direct demand for that specific product.
