UNSPSC 50486821: Dandelions purees

The type of vegetable known as dandelions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486821 Dandelions purees (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity among state and local government buyers. The code's nominal scope—pureed dandelion products—does not match the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent opportunities. The available contract opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad food procurement by state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county school systems, and municipal school districts, spanning canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery supply, cafeteria food products, and supplemental food and consumables for institutional food service operations—none of which are dandelion purees or closely related specialty produce items.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with isolated activity in Illinois and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) soliciting food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 (posted March 23, 2026, due April 6, 2026) for jalapeno peppers; and multiple school district IFBs and RFPs from Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, and Rockwood R-VI School District, all soliciting master grocery contracts or produce-specific supply with contract values ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million annually. The code shows no evidence of specialized dandelion puree procurement or any related niche fresh or processed produce category. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement scope suggests either miscoding in the source system or a code that does not represent active state and local purchasing in the current market.
