UNSPSC 50491800: Organic bean purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491800 Organic bean purees is a Class code that nominally covers organic bean puree products, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal to no activity specifically requesting organic bean purees under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code instead reflect broad food procurement by state health and human services agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional departments—but the items being solicited are general food staples such as canned proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy products, condiments, and prepared meals rather than organic bean purees. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts all appear in the recent opportunity record, but none of the posted solicitations describe a targeted need for organic bean purees or even legume-based products specifically. The scope mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being bought suggests this code is either mislabeled on state and local procurement notices or sees very limited use in the state and local procurement market.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas dominating through multiple HHS solicitations for facility food service (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers) and TDCJ cafeteria products. Georgia shows activity through school districts in Ben Hill County, Burke County, and Gwinnett County, while Oregon appears once for canned tomato procurement by the Department of Corrections. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) covering prepared foods and food service supplies; the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and the TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas in Texas (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). None of these solicitations center on organic bean purees or specify a procurement of legume-based products; the code assignment appears to be a data classification error rather than a reflection of meaningful market activity under this commodity.
