UNSPSC 50494012: Organic lemon gras purees

The variety of organic herbs known as organic lemon gras organics which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494012 Organic lemon grass purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within food procurement, yet state and local governments rarely solicit this specific item in isolation. Recent opportunities across institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services — show that state and local buyers source consumables and prepared foods through broad, multi-line-item food service RFPs and IFBless frequently targeting single ingredients or specialty purées. The code's scope aligns with food preparation inputs for institutional kitchens, but the recent contract activity does not show lemon grass purees or similar specialty botanical preparations appearing as standalone line items in active solicitations. Instead, state and local food procurement concentrates on shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies bundled into comprehensive food service contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items.

The issuing bodies soliciting food and consumable products include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-supported living centers. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with substantial volume in Texas alone across multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition covering multiple fresh, frozen, and dry food categories. No recent opportunities explicitly name lemon grass purees or comparable specialty botanical food ingredients, indicating limited current procurement activity under this specific Commodity code at the state and local level.
