UNSPSC 50494018: Organic perilla purees

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

UNSPSC 50494018 Organic perilla purees, a Commodity code, does not match the state and local procurement activity in the source data. Recent solicitations tagged with this code are actually for broad-based food supply contracts serving correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs — generic grocery procurement spanning canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies with no mention of perilla-based products.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Muscogee County), and a regional buying cooperative (GEC). Geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, and multi-state regional agreements, with school districts concentrated in Georgia and the South. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area (due March 4, 2026). The mismatch suggests a UNSPSC coding error in the source data or misapplication of the perilla-purees code to generic food procurement.
