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 (Commodity) is a specialized food ingredient with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes purees derived from lemongrass, a tropical herb used in culinary and beverage applications; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of organic lemongrass purees specifically. Instead, the tagged solicitations across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri cover broad food procurement for institutional feeding programs—school nutrition, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and veterans' homes—spanning fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and general grocery line items. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), and state-level procurement divisions (Georgia Department of Administrative Services). School nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunity set, followed by state facility foodservice (correctional, hospitals, supported living centers) and veterans' services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026; prior-period historical value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity—the tagged opportunities are primarily general food procurement, not specialized organic herb purees, suggesting either miscoding at the source or limited state and local demand for this specific commodity in isolation.
