UNSPSC 50493014: Organic shantung purees

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

UNSPSC 50493014 Organic shantung purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The available opportunities do not reflect procurement of organic shantung purees or comparable specialty purees; instead, they document broad food service solicitations by school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities seeking general groceries, produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods under various cooperative purchasing arrangements and standing contracts. State and local governments acquire food products under this code through school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes, but the recent solicitations target large-volume, commodity-grade foods rather than specialty or organic products, and none explicitly name shantung purees or functionally equivalent items.

Issuing bodies active in the broader food procurement space include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Burke County, and Liberty County school districts in Georgia and Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and county systems (Muscogee and Douglas County school systems in Georgia). Geographic spread extends across Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes due April 6, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract due April 27, 2026. The code does not currently see active solicitation activity for specialty or organic shantung purees at the state and local level; pursuing opportunities under this code should be evaluated against the possibility that the code assignment reflects a data classification mismatch rather than actual buyer intent for the product specified.
