UNSPSC 50492605: Organic early snowball cauliflower purees

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic early snowball cauliflowers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492605 Organic early snowball cauliflower purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual goods state and local governments are buying under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly document procurement of broad food-service supplies—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cheese, proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, and meal components—for schools, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. The mismatch between the narrow code name and the wide scope of food categories actually being solicited indicates that this code either misclassifies those opportunities or sees minimal activity in its nominal category.

The issuing bodies are exclusively state departments, county school systems, and independent school districts across the South and Pacific Northwest, with particular concentration in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, including Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state corrections and health facilities also appear regularly, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Veterans Home. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with prior contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case historically); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). The code shows substantial recent state and local procurement activity, but the work being bought bears little relation to the stated commodity name.
