UNSPSC 50493801: Organic angled loofah purees

The variety of organic gourds known as organic angled loofah which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493801 Organic angled loofah purees (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The code nominally describes a specialty food ingredient, but the recent opportunities solicited under this code span institutional food service—prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and food service supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state hospitals. The disconnect between the code's specific product name and the actual scope of work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code has been applied to broader food provisioning categories by issuing bodies that do not maintain strict UNSPSC alignment.

The issuing-body mix includes state health and human services departments (Texas HHS, Illinois HHSC), state corrections systems (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county and municipal jurisdictions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHS and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (county and school district bids), and Oregon (ODOC). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response date October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (response date October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with delivery to Salem (response date June 19, 2026). State and local buyers under this code typically require firm fixed pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms, references from prior contracts of similar scope, compliance with state procurement regulations including E-Verify and debarment certification, and delivery within 7 days of order or within 72 hours where specified.
