UNSPSC 50491916: Organic formanova beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50491916 Organic formanova beet purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect beet purées or any organic vegetable-based products. Instead, the opportunities in the block show wide-ranging food service procurement across institutional settings—weekly food orders for veterans' homes, cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state hospital food supplies—dominated by proteins, dairy, fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its intended product category.

School districts and state agencies drive the bulk of recent solicitation volume under this code tag. The Douglas County School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission each issued multiple food procurement RFPs or IFBs in the past six months. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and the State of Illinois Veterans Home round out the issuing bodies. Food service procurement concentrates among school districts and state-operated institutional facilities. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Illinois, and multi-state cooperative purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products (due June 15, 2026) reflect the institutional and school-based scope dominating this code's recent activity.
