UNSPSC 50492803: Organic perpetual spinach chard purees

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

UNSPSC 50492803 Organic perpetual spinach chard purees is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. The recent solicitations tagged under this code, however, show minimal activity directly aligned with organic spinach or chard purees; instead, state and local governments are broadly soliciting for general food supply contracts covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, state institutional facilities, and corrections departments. The issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, multiple Georgia county and city school systems), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state operations), and state-supported living centers. These jurisdictions purchase food through RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs with firm pricing structures, often requiring bidders to meet minimum response thresholds (95 percent of line items) and carry substantial insurance ($1 million to $2 million general liability). Contract values noted in recent opportunities range from $1.5 million annually (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to $9 million (Douglas County Schools food supply and distribution) to $4.5 million over three years (Texas HHSC statewide supplemental food).

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Texas, with recent activity in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County school systems; State of Georgia operations), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, multiple state-supported living centers), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (issued June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (issued February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one area, and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (issued April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring bidders to price 76 line items minimum and deliver weekly to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code itself shows little recent solicitation activity specifically for organic spinach chard purees as a standalone product; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should note the mismatch and focus instead on broader general food supply contracts where purees or specialty produce items may appear as individual line items within much larger procurements.
