UNSPSC 50493200: Organic cress purees

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

UNSPSC 50493200 Organic cress purees is a Class code that addresses fresh produce and prepared vegetable products for state and local institutional food service. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not consistently reflect organic cress purees as the actual procurement focus. The recent solicitations tagged to this code predominantly source shelf-stable and prepared food items for state institutions—including proteins, canned vegetables, frozen entrees, dairy, condiments, and food service consumables—rather than fresh organic leafy greens or cress products specifically. State and local purchasing offices issuing under this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (managing multiple state supported living centers), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state agencies (Illinois, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). The issuing bodies span a mix of state health and human services agencies, county governments, state prison systems, and K–12 school nutrition programs.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces; and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent state-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity—no recent opportunity explicitly targets organic cress purees—signals that this code carries little relevant recent activity for vendors specializing in that specific product line.
