UNSPSC 50491837: Organic mat bean purees

The variety of organic beans known as organic mat beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491837 Organic mat bean purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a narrowly defined food product—organic bean puree in mat or bulk form—but the recent opportunities posted under this code involve broad food-service supply contracts for state institutions, school districts, and public agencies. State and local governments are buying comprehensive consumables packages including prepared entrees, frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, fresh produce, and food-service supplies (containers, napkins, gloves, trays). Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state supported living centers and state hospitals), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county social services and senior programs (Gwinnett County), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state institutions (Illinois). None of the recent solicitations explicitly request organic bean purees or purees of any kind; the code assignment appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than a reflection of procurement reality under this commodity classification.

The recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The most recent and most decision-relevant solicitations are the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the Texas HHS IFB for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables with historical annual value of $1.5 million (due July 11, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (awarded February 2026, due June 19, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code should be reviewed for reclassification rather than pursued as a live business development target.
