UNSPSC 50494900: Organic nightshade purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic nightshades which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494900 Organic nightshade purees is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of food products for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows little alignment with its nominal scope. The opportunities posted since May 2026 reveal that state and local agencies are instead buying broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food items—canned tomatoes, potatoes, prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies—for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and health department operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller). Recent solicitations name Texas repeat buyers conducting multiple procurements for different facilities under the HHSC and TDCJ umbrellas.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), which solicited 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies on an F.O.B. Destination basis with seven-day delivery; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent). The Ben Hill County Schools IFB and Burke County Public Schools sealed-bid procurement each solicited nearly 400 line items of comprehensive food and kitchen supplies for multi-school nutrition programs with firm pricing required for initial 30-day periods and subsequent adjustments tied to third-party market indices. The code shows active procurement but limited recent activity specifically targeting organic nightshade purees as a distinct commodity.
