UNSPSC 50486840: Lotus root purees

The type of vegetable known as lotus root which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486840 Lotus root purees (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunity record for this code contains a single posting — Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 request for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, USDA Grade B or better, due June 19, 2026 under IFB S2910000017145) — which bears no relation to lotus root purees. The remaining opportunities in the dataset are tagged to this code but describe general food service procurement for state institutions: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's consumables solicitations for state-supported living centers (IFB HHS0018082 for prepared foods and supplies, due October 23, 2026; IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food across hospitals and living centers statewide, due March 19, 2026 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for shelf-stable food items (1,062 cases, due October 19, 2026), Illinois' quarterly food order for state facilities, and school district food bids from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia, due June 5, 2026). These opportunities span fresh, frozen, and prepared proteins; dairy; canned vegetables; condiments; and food service supplies — none specifically lotus root purees.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county governments, and school districts. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois. The code shows no sustained procurement activity aligned with lotus root purees as a distinct commodity. A business development professional evaluating this code should recognize the mismatch and verify whether the intended UNSPSC classification is accurate before investing pursuit resources.
