UNSPSC 50492802: Organic lucullus chard purees

The variety of organic chard known as organic lucullus chard which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492802 Organic lucullus chard purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single specialty produce item—organic chard purees—yet the recent opportunities posted against this code span institutional food service procurement for state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional systems, encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, frozen and shelf-stable vegetables, dairy, condiments, paper goods, and food service supplies. The mismatch between code and scope suggests either tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code carries a broader applied meaning in those systems than its name suggests. Across the opportunities that do appear in the dataset, issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, county school systems, city-level municipal schools, and state comptroller statewide procurement offices. State supported living centers and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice each issuing multiple solicitations over the past five months.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Oregon, Illinois, and scattered single-state opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which solicited prepared foods and food service supplies across 22 line items with delivery required within seven days of order; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (response due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences applied (response due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 encompassing multiple food categories with Buy American requirements and delivery to four school locations (sealed bids due June 15, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice comprised approximately 382 line items across proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and staples for distribution to five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026. Contract terms typically run one year with optional renewals; delivery expectations range from 72 hours to 30 days; and F.O.B. Destination with prepaid freight is standard across all solicitations reviewed.
