UNSPSC 50491910: Organic cylindra beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50491910 Organic cylindra beet purees (Commodity) does not align with the scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code involve broad consumable food procurement — fresh and shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies — for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. None of the recent solicitations name organic cylindra beet purees or beet products of any kind as a line item or scope element. The opportunities reflect institutional food service supply chains where vendors compete on per-unit pricing, delivery performance, USDA compliance, and breadth of product availability across dozens to hundreds of line items, not specialized organic produce categories. The tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a signal of actual demand for this specific commodity.

Activity under this code is driven by state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state operations), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), and school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools) across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), valued at $1.5 million for the prior contract period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products across four facilities (due June 15, 2026); and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026). Business development professionals should note that recent opportunities under this code do not reflect demand for organic cylindra beet purees and suggest verifying the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing suppliers in this category.
