UNSPSC 50490000: Organic fresh vegetable purees

Organic vegetables which have been pureed by being ground, pressed, blended, and/or sieved to the consistency of a soft creamy paste or thick liquid. Organic vegetables have been grown and that transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50490000 Organic fresh vegetable purees is a Family code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged to the code show no purchases of organic vegetable purees; instead, they reflect broad food service provisioning for state institutions, schools, and correctional facilities — including canned tomatoes, shelf-stable proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, condiments, and fresh produce alongside food service consumables and supplies. The code's nominal scope and current solicitation activity have diverged significantly, making this code a low-priority focus for vendors specializing in organic purees.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code span Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (quotes due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce and dairy products (bids due June 15, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The pattern shows institution-scale food provisioning tied to fiscal-year cycles and annual contract awards rather than specialized organic product procurement. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should align capability statements to bulk food service supply rather than niche organic products.
