UNSPSC 50492807: Organic white king chard purees

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

UNSPSC 50492807 Organic white king chard purees is a Commodity code that describes specialized vegetable puree products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code is minimal and does not reflect meaningful sourcing for the narrowly defined product. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code show state and local governments buying across broad food service categories—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—through school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes. The actual buying under adjacent codes in the fresh-produce and food-supply families vastly outweighs activity directly tied to organic chard purees, indicating that this Commodity code either sits unused in practice or captures only occasional specialty-item orders within larger food-service contracts rather than standing as a category driving independent procurement cycles.

State and local food procurement is concentrated in school districts and state agencies responsible for institutional feeding. Recent opportunities span Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Burke County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI Schools), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home Quincy), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with representative buys including Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 2026, response due April 27), Ben Hill County Schools' Food Bid IFB (May 2026, response due June 15), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for Fresh Produce and Eggs serving 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (February–March 2026 cycle). Institutional food service at corrections facilities and state hospitals also appears regularly—the Texas HHSC Supplemental Food & Consumables IFB (posted May 2026, response due March 19) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' Tomato Canned ITB (posted January 2026, response due February 9) exemplify state-agency food procurement. These opportunities typically use IFB, RFP, or ITB notice types with firm-fixed pricing and multi-year initial terms plus renewal options, and most require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, debarment certifications, and substantial insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
