UNSPSC 50492600: Organic cauliflower purees

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

UNSPSC 50492600 Organic cauliflower purees is a Class code that covers prepared vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity focused specifically on organic cauliflower purees. Instead, the code's recent activity centers on broad consumable food procurements—canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, condiments, and food service supplies—solicited by state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school districts, and county social services. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Georgia Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and several school districts in Georgia and Texas. Work solicited ranges from supplemental food and consumable products for state facilities statewide to quarterly food orders and cafeteria supplies for institutional food service operations, with contract terms typically running one fiscal year with renewal or extension options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas showing the highest recent volume through HHSC's multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and hospitals. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, covering multiple NIGP food service classes with a prior-year value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes procurement (approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent); and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026). School district food bids such as Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools (both Georgia) solicit comprehensive grocery procurements with nearly 400 line items each under Buy American Act requirements. No solicitations in the source specifically name organic cauliflower purees as a line item, suggesting the code may be underutilized or misapplied in current state and local procurement tagging.
