UNSPSC 50493100: Organic chive purees

The variety of organic vegetable known as organic chives which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493100 Organic chive purees, a Class code, shows minimal direct activity under this narrowly specified commodity; state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad food-service consumables for institutional operations—prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, canned goods, and kitchen supplies—rather than organic chive purees specifically. Recent opportunities reveal a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement patterns. The buying agencies are state health and human services departments operating state-supported living centers, county departments managing senior services, school districts running nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and state universities, with repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), which has posted multiple IFBs and IWQs for food and consumables since May 2026. The work solicited spans prepared foods such as chicken wings and french fries, shelf-stable proteins and vegetables in canned and frozen form, dairy products, grains, condiments, and food-service supplies including containers, napkins, and disposable service items, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million for a single facility's annual needs to $4.5 million for statewide multi-year arrangements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and an anticipated contract term of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with renewal options; a supplemental statewide procurement (HHS0016792v2) encompassing 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated foods and consumable supplies with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years closed March 19, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with delivery to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, response due May 4, 2026. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for the Department of Community Services, quotes due October 19, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued comprehensive food bids for school nutrition programs for the 2026–2027 school year. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, bids due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders receiving a 5 percent preference. The code does not reflect recent organic-specific chive puree procurement; vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on institutional food-service supply lines rather than specialty organic produce items.
