UNSPSC 50492002: Organic broccoli romanesco purees

The variety of organic broccoli known as organic broccoli romanesco which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492002 Organic broccoli romanesco purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, yet recent opportunities show little activity explicitly soliciting this specific item. The code's nominal scope—pureed organic broccoli romanesco—sits at the commodity tier of the taxonomy, but the recent solicitations tagged under it actually request broad consumable food products for institutional food service, including prepared foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, grains, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and a state correctional agency (Oregon Department of Corrections), with one county social services procurement (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). This indicates the code sees activity from state departments, school districts, and county welfare and corrections facilities rather than a concentrated buyer base, though Texas Health and Human Services and Georgia school systems appear multiple times in the recent record.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary postings from Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B standards with delivery to Salem (bids due June 19, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also posted a larger procurement, IFB HHS0016792V2, spanning 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The code shows recent activity but does not center on organic broccoli romanesco purees specifically; opportunities instead reflect broad-basket institutional food service solicitations where this commodity, if procured at all, would represent a minor line item among hundreds.
