UNSPSC 50491908: Organic cheltenham mono beet purees

The variety of organic beets known as organic cheltenham mono beets which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491908 Organic cheltenham mono beet purees is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged under this code involve broad food procurement for institutional settings—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and veterans' homes—but the solicitations describe conventional grocery items, fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared foods rather than specialty organic beet products. The State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts have issued RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for routine food supply since January 2026, but none of the posted specifications call for organic cheltenham mono beet purees or any beet-specific commodity.

The code shows substantial purchasing activity across state departments, county school districts, and regional education cooperatives, principally in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with contract values ranging from under $100,000 for single-commodity buys to $9 million for comprehensive food distribution services. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 serving 45 schools statewide with responses due April 27, 2026, and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution to serve 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend (proposals due February 18, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either classification error in the state and local procurement system or that beet purees—if purchased at all—represent a negligible line item within much larger food contracts. Vendors focused on specialty organic produce should monitor broader school nutrition and institutional food RFPs rather than expecting solicitations to explicitly name this commodity.
