UNSPSC 50493319: Organic persian cucumber purees

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic persian cucumbers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493319 Organic persian cucumber purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The source records describe food procurement for institutional facilities—state supported living centers, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and county senior services—but the opportunities actually solicited span broad food-service categories including proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and prepared entrees. The code name references a specific produce item, yet the representative solicitations do not mention organic persian cucumber purees or similar specialty produce purees among their line items. The issuing bodies consist primarily of state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), with Texas agencies appearing in multiple recent postings. The scope of actual buying encompasses prepared foods, frozen specialty items, proteins, fresh and frozen vegetables, dairy products, condiments, food-service supplies, and consumables—institutional cafeteria and kitchen operations rather than specialty fruit or vegetable purees.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items of prepared foods and supplies, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, previous purchase at $13.75 per case), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid encompassing multiple product categories (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows minimal recent activity specifically targeting organic cucumber purees or similar specialty produce items; procurement under this code appears misaligned with the commodity's technical definition.
