UNSPSC 50493203: Organic watercress purees

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

UNSPSC 50493203 Organic watercress purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes pureed watercress products, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for watercress purees or closely related products. Instead, the fourteen recent opportunities across this code span institutional food procurement—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health systems—acquiring broad food supply contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items covering proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods. These solicitations treat food procurement as volume purchasing across multiple categories rather than as single-product commodity buys.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and multiple others appearing in the recent block. State agencies—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia—also procure food under this code for corrections, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and veteran facilities. Geographic spread centers on Georgia (five opportunities), Texas (three), and Oregon (two), with additional activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food (response due June 15, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools plus distribution facilities (response due April 27, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomato products (response due June 19, 2026, referencing a prior purchase at $13.75 per case). The code shows strong activity in school lunch and institutional food service but little evidence of watercress purees as a standalone procurement item or contractual focus.
