UNSPSC 50493807: Organic smooth loofah purees

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

UNSPSC 50493807 Organic smooth loofah purees (Commodity) does not reflect state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a botanical-extract food product, but the solicitations tagged under it are instead broad food-service procurements for school districts, state institutions, and corrections departments purchasing conventional grocery items—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, meat, dairy, bread, condiments, and prepared foods for cafeteria and nutrition programs. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all category for miscellaneous food procurement; either way, no state or local entity is soliciting organic loofah purees or anything close to that product family.

The recent opportunities block shows activity concentrated among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state-level institutional buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home, and State of Georgia). Geographic spread covers Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs and state-hospital food service dominating the solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies for four school locations (due June 15, 2026). No state or local entity in the block is actively soliciting the product nominally described by the code.
