UNSPSC 50493509: Organic rossa di treviso endive purees

The variety of organic endives known as organic rossa di treviso endives which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493509 Organic rossa di treviso endive purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not reflect what is actually being procured under this classification. The source records show no bids solicited for rossa di treviso endive purees or any similar specialty vegetable purees; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code request shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service operations including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, and food service supplies. State and local buyers—primarily state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers, state hospitals, and correctional facilities, alongside county nutrition programs, school districts, and state agencies—are using this code to procure general institutional food supplies rather than specialized produce purees. The issuing bodies span Texas health agencies (HHSC), Georgia county and school nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Illinois state system, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's statewide procurement division.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and affiliated facilities, with responses due July 11, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and dry food products with a historical annual spend of approximately $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing bids for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with the prior February purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posting an IFB for comprehensive grocery procurement across four schools due June 15, 2026, emphasizing Buy American compliance and Child Nutrition meal patterns; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's office) issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for five TDCJ warehouse areas, with the extended response due May 4, 2026. The code shows active institutional food-service procurement but no market evidence of demand for the specialized product named in the UNSPSC category itself.
