UNSPSC 50493101: Organic chinese chive purees

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

UNSPSC 50493101 Organic chinese chive purees is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span food service procurement across diverse issuing bodies — state departments, counties, school districts, and state health and human services agencies — but the actual solicitations do not request organic chinese chive purees or products directly matching the code's nominal description. Instead, they request broad food supply contracts encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared foods, and consumables for institutional meal service. The Illinois Veterans Home seeks quarterly weekly food orders; Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers; Oregon Department of Corrections seeks canned tomatoes and tomato paste; and multiple Georgia school districts (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Ben Hill County, Burke County, and Douglas County) issue annual or multi-year food procurement bids. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact, with issuing bodies using it to tag general food service procurement rather than items matching the specialty vegetable product the code names.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia (six recent school district opportunities) and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP Classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 at an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Douglas County School System RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services with sealed proposals due February 18, 2026, requesting distributor services for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products across multiple categories with bids due June 15, 2026. The code does not support recent opportunities actually requesting organic chinese chive purees or functionally similar products.
