UNSPSC 50492301: Organic black cabbage purees

The variety of organic cabbages known as organic black cabbage which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492301 Organic black cabbage purees (Commodity) reflects food service procurement for state and local institutional operations, though the recent solicitations under this code do not feature black cabbage products specifically. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broad consumable food packages that include shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and county senior programs. The code sits within a wider ecosystem of institutional food procurement where agencies consolidate line-item purchasing of dozens or hundreds of food products rather than procuring individual commodity vegetables in puree form.

Recent opportunities originate from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple IFBs for state-supported living center and state hospital supply), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with activity also in Oregon and Illinois. Representative solicitations include Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 (consumable foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days); Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026, with December 7 delivery deadline); and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 (7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with five-percent Oregon-resident preference). The actual sourcing activity under this code appears to address broad food categories rather than specialty produce purees, suggesting potential misclassification of opportunities or limited recent demand for organic black cabbage purees in state and local procurement.
