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 is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity that does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code cover broad food procurement for institutional food service—weekly food orders for veterans homes, quarterly produce and specialty food supply for state facilities, canned tomato products for correctional facilities, and comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts for school nutrition programs across multiple states. None of these solicitations involve organic Chinese flowering cabbage purees as a distinct product line; the code appears to be a catch-all miscategorization for general food service procurement rather than a product-specific commodity. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County in Missouri and Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County and Liberty County in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state procurement offices (Georgia, Oregon). The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois.

Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 13, 2026, under a demand-based contract with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases) due April 6, 2026, delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia with an estimated annual value of approximately $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas and a proposal deadline of March 4, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity and likely requires reclassification to accurately reflect procurement intent.
