UNSPSC 50494602: Organic coco malanga purees

The variety of organic malanga known as organic coco malanga which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494602, Organic coco malanga purees, is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist entirely of shelf-stable institutional food procurement—canned tomatoes, prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies—with no solicitations for organic coco malanga purees or specialty puree products. The code shows active purchasing volume across state departments, county boards, school districts, and correctional agencies, but the activity is concentrated in mainstream cafeteria and food service commodities for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers rather than the narrow specialty item the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), county school districts in Georgia, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Ben Hill County Schools. The work involves competitive bidding for bulk food supply contracts with firm pricing, USDA compliance, strict delivery windows, and detailed specifications around shelf life, sodium content, and product grading.

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with recent activity concentrated in institutional food service procurement across the South and Pacific Northwest. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition procurement across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF encompasses approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic regions (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated scope of organic coco malanga purees; the classification appears to be a data-entry mismatch rather than an accurate descriptor of current procurement demand.
