UNSPSC 50486864: Water chestnuts purees

The type of vegetable known as water chestnuts which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486864 Water chestnuts purees is a Commodity-tier code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for water chestnuts or chestnut purees. Of the sixteen contract opportunities listed, all involve broader food procurement for institutional foodservice — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and veterans homes — across categories such as fresh produce, canned vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods. None target water chestnuts or chestnut-based products specifically. The code appears inactive or rarely tagged in current state and local purchasing.

State and local governments buying food through the broader canned and fresh produce categories they do solicit (tomato products, fresh vegetables and fruits, grocery staples) issue through school districts, state agencies including corrections and health-and-human-services departments, and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato bids (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026; S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurements (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792), and multiple school district grocery and produce solicitations from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia). The code itself, however, does not appear to map to actual procurement demand in the current market. Firms pursuing institutional foodservice contracts should monitor the broader fresh and canned produce, dairy, and staple-food UNSPSC families and classes rather than expect opportunities under this specific commodity code.
