UNSPSC 50492500: Organic carrot purees

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

UNSPSC 50492500 Organic carrot purees, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no posted opportunities soliciting organic carrot purees or carrot-based products under this code. State and local buyers are actively procuring food and consumable products for institutional use—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services facilities, and veteran homes—but the recent opportunities use broader commodity codes covering general grocery, produce, canned goods, and food supply categories rather than this specific commodity code. The mismatch suggests the code may not reflect actual purchasing patterns at state and local levels, or purchasing offices are classifying similar items under higher-tier family or class codes that capture multiple food product lines together.

Opportunities posted between January and June 2026 show strong demand for institutional food procurement across Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Georgia (school districts in multiple counties), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Illinois (veterans home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Schools). School districts dominate the volume, with IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive annual food contracts spanning 200 to 900 line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items. Texas Health and Human Services and Georgia school nutrition programs issued multiple solicitations with estimated values from $1.5 million to $9 million annually. These procurement bodies evaluate vendors on price, compliance with nutritional and safety standards, delivery capability, and past performance, with firm fixed pricing required for initial contract terms and mid-year adjustments tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index where permitted. No recent opportunities match the organic carrot purees commodity specifically.
