UNSPSC 50493003: Organic chinese flowering cabbage purees

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic chinese flowering cabbage which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493003 Organic chinese flowering cabbage purees, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code describe consumable food procurement for institutional food service — primarily prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, dairy, proteins, frozen items, and food service supplies — but they do not center on or isolate organic chinese flowering cabbage purees as a discrete line item or primary solicitation focus. The opportunities show that state and local governments use this code (or codes near it in the food taxonomy) to aggregate multi-hundred-line-item food buys for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county health and human services departments, but the specific vegetable product named in the code does not appear in the representative opportunities reviewed. The work being solicited is institutional cafeteria and kitchen procurement, delivery to central distribution centers or on-site kitchens, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and firm fixed pricing F.O.B. Destination with delivery windows measured in days to weeks.

Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (repeat buyer across multiple state supported living centers and state hospitals), county boards of commissioners and county school nutrition programs (Georgia counties Ben Hill and Burke; Gwinnett County), state prison and correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the state Comptroller), and state agencies managing food service for institutional populations. Geographic activity in the recent six-month window concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026, spanning 22 line items of prepared and fresh foods, food service supplies, and equipment); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and rice (response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' request for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (bids due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated preference). The code shows little focused recent activity on organic chinese flowering cabbage purees specifically.
