UNSPSC 50494026: Organic tumeric purees

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

UNSPSC 50494026 Organic turmeric purees is a Commodity code representing a specialized food ingredient; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show little relevant activity. The sole opportunity explicitly matching the code—a quarterly food order by the State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for July through September 2026—does not specify turmeric purees in its scope and instead covers generic weekly food supply items including proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and vegetables. The code does not appear in recent school district food procurements, institutional food service bids, or state health and human services food contracts, all of which are driving the bulk of state and local food purchasing activity. When the source tags an opportunity with a code that does not match the work actually being bought, the mismatch signals that the code sees little or no relevant procurement activity.

State and local procurement offices across Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri are actively sourcing food products under broader food service categories—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared entrees—in support of school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers, but specialized organic turmeric purees have not surfaced in any recent IFB, RFP, or RFQ. School districts including Fairfax County (Virginia), Ben Hill County (Georgia), Burke County (Georgia), and Liberty County (Georgia), along with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple state health agencies, are placing regular food orders with hundreds of line items and millions of dollars in annual spend, yet turmeric purees—organic or otherwise—do not appear in any of those specifications. The code carries no discernible market signal in recent state and local procurement activity.
