UNSPSC 50491919: Organic monogram beet purees

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

UNSPSC 50491919 Organic monogram beet purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single food product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not solicit beet purees or products resembling them. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under this code in the past four months span broad food service procurement for state institutions, county social services, school districts, and correctional facilities—including proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, frozen entrees, and paper supplies—none of which align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests that issuing agencies are either applying the code incorrectly to general food-service categories or that the code designation in the posting system does not reflect the actual goods being solicited. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity requirements with the issuing body rather than relying on the UNSPSC descriptor.

Recent opportunities under this designation have been issued by diverse state and local buying entities: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Georgia Department of Community Services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and the State of Illinois. The geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with Texas representing the plurality of recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which solicited 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies for fiscal year 2027; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for a comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories (due June 5, 2026). None of these opportunities specify organic monogram beet purees or products within that category.
