UNSPSC 50493202: Organic Nasturtium purees

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

UNSPSC 50493202 Organic Nasturtium purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity in the recent opportunities posted under it. The code nominally refers to a specialized organic vegetable product, but recent solicitations tagged to this code cover broad institutional food service supply — shelf-stable staples, fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and consumable kitchen supplies for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, county government, and state corrections facilities. Work ranges from single-item commodity purchases (canned tomatoes, potatoes) to comprehensive multi-hundred-line-item grocery programs supporting large institutional food services. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (El Paso and Lufkin State Supported Living Centers), Georgia county and school district nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia. Most recent opportunities are RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs from state agencies and school districts, with response dates concentrated between May and October 2026.

Geographically, the recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary presence in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables (prepared foods, food service supplies, 22 line items) at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items, peanut butter through canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (Grade B or better, approximately $13.75 per case from the prior purchase) due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food across multiple categories supporting four school locations, due June 15, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity under its nominal Organic Nasturtium purees definition; the mismatch suggests miscategorization of these opportunities at the commodity level.
