UNSPSC 50494011: Organic fenugreek purees

The variety of organic herbs known as organic fenugreek which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494011 Organic fenugreek purees is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific food ingredient, but state and local governments show no recent procurement activity for organic fenugreek purees themselves. The recent solicitations tagged to this code actually cover broad consumable food and food service supply purchases for institutional cafeterias, state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities — including prepared foods (chicken, beef, frozen entrees), shelf-stable staples (rice, pasta, canned vegetables and proteins), dairy products, condiments, and disposable food service supplies (containers, napkins, trays, straws). The scope reflects general institutional food procurement where vendors supply dozens to hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, not specialty ingredient items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Illinois state operations), state correctional and education departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), counties (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and stand-alone state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple departments.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared and packaged foods with delivery within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, soups, vegetables) for community services with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with a 5% Oregon-residency preference; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations, with bids due May 4, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools requesting sealed bids for school nutrition food with hundreds of line items and bids due June 15, 2026. The code shows little activity tied specifically to organic fenugreek purees and instead reflects a mismatch between the nominal commodity and actual buying patterns in state and local institutional food supply.
