UNSPSC 50492506: Organic paris market carrot purees

The variety of organic carrots known as organic paris market carrots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492506 Organic paris market carrot purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product category, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal that state and local governments are actually procuring a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service operations. The specific opportunities show purchases of canned tomatoes, potatoes, and various prepared and dry goods rather than carrot purees specifically. The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity diverge significantly: the opportunities instead reflect general food service supply chains serving state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county social services departments. Where carrot purees do appear in these buys, they are typically one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food service RFPs or IFBs; the majority of recent solicitations focus on proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, condiments, and consumable supplies rather than pureed vegetables. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and state hospitals), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Illinois state facilities, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, indicating a mix of state agencies, county governments, and school nutrition programs.

The code shows recent activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and noncontract food items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), which encompasses 20 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual usage of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, and canned proteins (due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition program food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). Most solicitations specify FOB Destination delivery, firm pricing on a per-unit basis, compliance with USDA standards, and response to hundreds of line items organized by food category. The code shows little recent activity specifically tagged to organic carrot purees; the opportunities present are generic food service buys where this commodity, if procured at all, appears as one item among many rather than as a dedicated solicitation.
