UNSPSC 50493601: Organic cantino fennel purees

The variety of organic fennels known as organic cantino fennel which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493601 Organic cantino fennel purees (Commodity) describes specialized produce ingredients that state and local governments rarely source directly; recent opportunities indicate no actual procurement activity under this code. The source contains ten recent state and local food-service opportunities spanning Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, but none solicits fennel purees—organic or otherwise. Instead, the posted bids target commodity foods (canned tomatoes, potatoes, shelf-stable staples), prepared items (frozen chicken, baked goods, dairy), and food-service supplies for institutional kitchens. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought reflects either a data-tagging error or a code designation applied to a broader food-procurement family that does not segregate ingredient-level botanical specificity.

The recent opportunities reveal that state and local procurement of food and consumables runs primarily through state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state agencies), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state criminal justice systems, with procurement appearing most active in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food across multiple product categories (response due June 15, 2026). No procurement activity specifically targeting organic fennel purees appears in the available record, suggesting this code sees minimal recent state and local solicitation activity.
