UNSPSC 50492000: Organic broccoli purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic broccoli which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492000 Organic broccoli purees is a Class code that represents a narrow commodity line within the broader food-service procurement ecosystem. In practice, state and local governments do not solicit organic broccoli purees as a standalone product under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations for organic broccoli purees. Instead, the nine most recent state and local contract opportunities posted between May and October 2026 all solicit broad food-service bundles—prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, canned vegetables, and consumable kitchen supplies—for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state hospitals. These bundles are issued under broader commodity classifications such as fresh produce, canned goods, frozen foods, and food-service supplies rather than under a specific code for organic vegetable purees.

The issuing bodies are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas agencies dominate recent activity, particularly the Health and Human Services Commission, which posted four separate IFBs for food and consumables in the May-to-August window. Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies, and the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for senior services. The code appears inactive for organic broccoli purees specifically; the mismatch between the narrow commodity name and the broad food-procurement activity in the recent-opportunities record suggests this code may be misapplied or underutilized for state and local solicitations.
